After a hiatus in 2020, the Snow Australia Community Sport Awards (CSA) will return in 2021.
THE CSA were established two years ago to complement the Snow Australia Awards, traditionally held at the end of the northern winter season.
Last held in November 2019, this year the awards will be a virtual event in November.
We introduced the Community Sport Awards to recognise the contribution of volunteers, clubs, schools, coaches, athletes and programs at the development and pathway level of snow sports," explained Snow Australia CEO Michael Kennedy.
The first event was a huge success in 2019, with the 2020 event cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation. While the event may have been cancelled last year there were still many people working tirelessly in the background support race clubs and athletes.
There has never been a time where acknowledging the snow sport community and saying thank you for its continued efforts and support was more important,” Kennedy said. “Equally, we’d like to recognise the athletes, their coaches and programs who have adapted to the challenges brought on by the pandemic and continued to pursue success in their disciplines, despite the circumstances.”
The snow community is encouraged to nominate worthy individuals, programs and clubs that meet the selection criteria for Community Sport Awards.
Nominations are now open until September 29.
