The Australian Society for Sports History (ASSH) offers a range of Awards and Honours to recognise service, contribution and achievement within sports history. The Awards and Honours are coordinated by the Awards Committee, a Subcommittee of the Executive which is chaired by a former President and two Executive members. This Committee currently consists of Douglas Booth (Interim Chair) and Murray Phillips.
Over a two-year period there will be four formal awards/honours that may be awarded. Each of the prizes are awarded biennially. Winners of the four biennial awards will be announced at the Sporting Traditions Conference dinner. The four awards/honours are:
- ASSH Book Award
- ASSH Anthology Awrd
- ASSH Student Article Prize
- ASSH Fellowship
- ASSH Service Award
Due dates are listed for each award below, but applications for late submissions can be made to the Chair.
