Canberra Sport Awards

Last updated

Canberra Sport Awards or CBR Sport Awards were originally established in 1984 by the Board of ACT Sports House. From 1984 to 2014 they were referred to as ACT Sportstar of the Year Awards and organised by ACTSPORT. The ACT Government took over the Awards after ACTSPORT ceased operations in 2015 and renamed them Canberra Sport Awards. [1] There were no Awards in 2015 due to the transition from ACTSPORT to ACT Government.

Discontinued Awards

These ACTSPORT Awards have not been continued by the Canberra Sports Awards. The AIS Award was selected from athletes on scholarship at the Australian Institute of Sport campus in Canberra. In 2014, there was no AIS Award as the AIS no longer offered athlete scholarships. In its place, the Harry Marr Award was created and Patrick Millss was its inaugural and only recipient.
