AFL Victoria is pleased to announce the shortlisted nominations for the 2016 AFL Victoria Community Media Awards.
The shortlisted applicants will now have their submissions evaluated again by a judging panel consisting of experts in the relevant field before a winner in each category is announced at a special luncheon at IKON Park on Friday December 9.
Invitations will be issued in the coming days.
The overwhelming number of nominations and the high standard of those submitted resulted in the work of several talented journalists, broadcasters and photographers being overlooked.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your nominations and congratulate you on the fantastic work being produced right across Victoria.
We hope those who have missed out on making the shortlist will nominate again next year.
See below for this year’s shortlisted nominations:
