Destination NSW has secured the Annual Sports Personality Awards, a new event to be held exclusively in Sydney.
“I’m delighted that the Annual Sports Personality Awards will be based
in Sydney, the home of world class sport,” Ms Chipchase, Destination NSW CEO, said.
“The NSW Events Calendar features the best and widest range of major
sports events in Australia and the Annual Sports Personality Awards will
be a celebration of great sporting moments and great sporting heroes.”
The Annual Sports Personality Awards will feature 21 categories across
three genres, including performance-based awards (including Male Sports
Personality of the Year, Female Sports Personality of the Year and Team
of the Year), emotive awards (including Comeback of the Year and
Standout Moment of the Year), and fun awards (such as Most Fashionable
Athlete and Howler of the Year).
“The Annual Sports Personality Awards are the first of their kind
allowing Australian sports fans across the country to nominate and vote
for their favourite personalities and moments from all Australian
sporting codes.”
“Supporting the Awards highlights why Sydney is Australia’s events
capital and the place where Australia comes together to celebrate
achievement.”
The inaugural Annual Sports Personality Awards ceremony will be held at
the Hordern Pavilion at Moore Park on Wednesday 11 December 2013.
Annual Sports Personality Awards CEO, Trent Taylor, said “We are
thrilled to be working together with Destination NSW to bring this event
to the iconic city of Sydney, where fans, industry and sporting legends
can rub shoulders in a fun, fast-paced celebration of the best of
Australian sport.”
ASPAs’ Directors include Frank Brown, former President of MTV Networks
Asia Pacific, who has overseen the launch of dozens of entertainment
events in Europe, Asia and Australia, and Kurt Menzel, respected Sydney
businessman and sports events entrepreneur.
