Best reporting of an issue in sport

This award for journalistic excellence recognises a story, or series of stories, on a single issue in sport. It seeks to promote responsible, well-researched and analytical coverage of issues affecting sport.

For the purposes of this award, 'issues' do not include match or event reports or previews, or injuries to individuals. All other matters relating to sport will be considered, including topics relating to sport business, governance and administration.

Entries will be assessed on the quality and comprehensiveness of coverage during the qualifying period and should include:

• a completed entry form
• one copy of the nominated item/s (please refer to ‘How to enter’)
• a 200-word statement to support the entry, outlining its relevance to the category, impact and any background context.

A maximum of two entries per person applies to this category.

Entrants should provide no more than six examples of their best work.

Long-form broadcasts are eligible in this category, but these entries must also include a highlights package of no longer than 10 minutes.

Please note the Australian Sports Commission cannot accept books as entries for these awards.
