Do you know a sporting legend in the Charters Towers Region who deserves to shine bright? Nominate them today!
The inaugural NQ Sportstar Awards took place in 1990 and is the longest running dedicated sporting awards in Queensland.
For 33 years the awards have played a major role in our sporting communities recognising the incredible achievements of our regional North Queensland athletes.
The 2024 NQ Sportstar Awards will be hosted by Mount Isa City Council and will celebrate and highlight the remarkable accomplishments of athletes from various sports disciplines throughout North Queensland. We firmly believe in showcasing their talent, hard work, and determination, while also acknowledging the invaluable efforts of the individuals behind the scenes who make these achievements possible.
If you know an individual who has attained a level of excellence greater than that achieved by other teams, or whose performance has been so exceptional that their achievements have identified them as being clearly outstanding from their peers and deserves to be honoured, we invite you to nominate them for NQ Sportstar Awards.
