Nominations Now Open for the 2025 Snow Australia Community Sport Awards

Snow Australia is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the sixth edition of the Snow Australia Community Sport Awards (CSA). These prestigious awards recognise outstanding achievements and contributions across the snowsports community over the past 12 months, including athletes, coaches, volunteers, officials, schools, clubs, and programs.

From exceptional young athletes and inspiring coaches to committed volunteers, innovative school programs, and recognised pathway initiatives, the CSAs highlight the individuals and organisations driving progress and making a meaningful impact at the grassroots and development levels of the snowsports community.

Award winners will be honoured through a series of online stories later this year.

Award Categories

This year’s awards feature nine categories, each with specific eligibility and selection criteria:

• Spirit of Interschools Award

• Outstanding School Achievement

• Snowsports Official Award

• Excellence in Technical Officiating Award

• Young Achiever Award

• Emerging Talent Program Athlete Awards

• Coach Academy Award

• Pathway Excellence Award

• Service to Snowsport

This year, Snow Australia is proud to expand on award categories that recognise officials and volunteers. 

Formerly focused solely on Technical Officials, the Snowsports Official Award has been expanded and rebranded. The updated category acknowledges individuals who have gone above and beyond to support snow sport events — whether through their role as a school coordinator or officiating role for snow sports events.

To be eligible, nominees must have officiated, coordinated, or supported events at any level — school, club, regional, or national during the nomination period (November 2024 – October 2025). Both paid and volunteer contributions are welcomed.
