The awards will be presented by the State Government of Victoria and Vicsport on Wednesday, February 26, at Marvel Stadium.

“The calibre of nominations in 2019 and subsequently the finalists chosen are an indication of the strength of our industry in Victoria and makes the process of judging winners a challenging but rewarding one,” Vicsport chairman Ron Gauci said.

“We look forward to honouring the success of our finalists at the 2019 Victorian Sport Awards in February.”
