NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year Competition Thursday, March 30, 2017 - 2:47 PM

It’s every little Auskicker's dream to fly to Melbourne, walk in the AFL Grand Final parade, play on the hallowed turf of the MCG and present a premiership medal to a premiership player.

The 2017 NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year competition provides all registered participants with the chance to become one of 22 weekly nominees and be a part of this unforgettable three-day Grand Final experience in Melbourne.

From the lucky 22 weekly nominees, the overall NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year is announced at an awards dinner in Melbourne during Grand Final Week.

The 2017 NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year winner will receive $5,000 in a NAB Reward Saver Account and Geelong Football Club captain Joel Selwood as their personal footy mentor for 2018.

To be in the running to win this incredible experience, parents and guardians can enter their 2017 registered NAB AFL Auskick participant into the NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year competition by uploading a short video featuring their Auskicker in action at home or in the backyard; kicking goals, commentating or taking a speccy.

In the video entry, Auskickers should also explain why they think they should be the 2017 NAB AFL Auskicker of the Year.

Competition closes on Thursday 3rd August.
