The Gold Coast Sports Stars Awards is a celebration of sporting achievement by our local athletes.
The Awards recognise the Gold Coast’s elite and prominent up-and-coming athletes, as well as recognising those that have significantly contributed to the Gold Coast Sporting Community in the calendar year.
The Awards are proudly presented by Sports Gold Coast and the Gold Coast Sporting Hall of Fame.
