The 2023 Basketball Victoria Country Award nominations are open. Each year the Awards recognise the valuable work of Victorian country basketball associations, as well as individuals from within the Victorian basketball community. The 2023 Awards Breakfast will be conducted on Saturday 13 April 2024 at the Bendigo Stadium from 7:30am to 9:30am.
Nominations are called for, from Basketball Victoria (BV) affiliated Country Victorian Associations for the recognition of associations and individuals in all areas of basketball from administration, volunteers, to diversity and inclusion and the promotion of basketball for the 2023 year.
“Each year we are excited to see the growing number of nominations for all of the categories, and we love hearing about the incredible achievements of players, coaches, referees and everyone involved in basketball throughout country Victoria,” Basketball Victoria General Manager Member and Community Services Manager David Huxtable said. “The BV Country Awards aim to recognise and highlight those individuals and organisations that have excelled throughout the last calendar year, on and off the court.
“Get involved and nominate those people at your club, association or your team that have made a difference this year.”
There are 11 award categories culminating in the presentation of the Jack Terrill Medal, which recognises a significant and outstanding contribution by an individual to basketball in country Victoria. The Jack Terrill Medial is named in honour of the former Basketball Victoria Country founding President and long-time Basketball Victoria Country Council Member, the late Mr. Jack Terrill.
Jack, who passed away in 1973, was one of the driving forces behind the formation of Basketball Victoria Country. At the 1966 Country Annual Delegates Meeting at Country Week, it was decided that an attempt should be made to form a genuine country governing committee, which would play a significant role in the future direction of basketball in country Victoria.
Jack Terrill served as President of the Country Council from 1967 to 1973 and was instrumental in creating the policies and procedures under which BVC operated for many years. Jack’s vision and commitment were formally recognised in 1973 with the introduction of the Jack Terrill Medal.
This annual award recognises a significant and outstanding contribution by an individual to basketball in Country Victoria.
