Innovation Award 2024

The Innovation Award recognises a new initiative specifically targeted at engaging non-participating students in recreation.


The purpose of the Innovation Award is to celebrate and showcase tertiary institutions that are taking inventive approaches as they navigate a complex and changing external environment, as well as promote a culture of innovation & creativity.


Initiatives must be targeted at engaging non-participants and/or population groups that are under-represented in participation figures.


Initiatives may be new or existing but must have had at least one event or iteration in the year of or preceding the Awards.
