A similar presentation program will be held this year. Major recipients will be invited as our guests to the 2008 Sandover Medal, where they will be acknowledged for their efforts amongst some of Western Australia’s finest contributors.
Volunteers are the backbone of our great game, and underpin our competitions and environments through out football in our state. The RAC and West Australian Football Commission therefore asks you or your football body to submit the name or names of volunteers in your club, league or association who you believe deserve recognition for their time in our great game.

a) Must have given notable voluntary service to Australian Football.
b) Must be a willing, voluntary contributor, having received no income from football (NB honoraria excepted).
c) Must be an ambassador for the game of football who acts and works for the best interest of the game, never bringing the game into disrepute.
d) Those making nominations should make no more than two nominations which should be prioritised (only a limited number of awards will be presented).
Please ensure your nomination/s are forwarded by the closing dates.
