The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is calling for entries for the Media Awards with two new categories available for nomination in 2022.

The Media Awards recognise excellence in Australian sports journalism, broadcasting, production and photography.

Now in its 21st year, the awards acknowledge the important role media play in telling sport's stories and inspiring Australians to get active.

Finalists in the Media Awards will be announced in December and invited to a gala dinner in

Melbourne on Thursday 16 February 2023.
