INBA is pleased to announce we have created an annual Awards Presentation Brunch the morning after the Australian Titles each year. The Competitor Gala Awards will be an annual event to honour our competitor’s outstanding achievements during the year. The Awards will consist of both contest related achievements such as the Year’s Best Posing Routine, Most Muscular Athlete, and also non-contest accolades, such as Most Positive Sportsperson.
In addition to presenting the Awards, we will be honouring our newly crowned Australian Champions and presenting to the brunch attendees, each Member of INBA Australian Team who will be representing our Nation in the upcoming International Pinnacle events, such as The Natural Olympia.
Significantly, the Gala Awards and Brunch has been created as a Fundraiser for INBA competitors to achieve their goal of representing Australia on any international stage. All proceeds from the Competitor Gala Awards go in our ‘Competition Fund’ to assist competitor’s costs when representing INBA and Australia. We expect the Fund will be capable of paying the international entry fees, drug testing, Australian uniform and items. This could reduce the cost by 0-500 per Australian competitor.
In 2010 the Competitor Gala Awards Brunch & Fundraiser will be held at the University of Victoria (Footscray campus) in a new 400 seat restaurant with fabulous views overlooking the Melbourne Race Course and Maribyrnong River. Sunday October 10th between 9.30am – 12 Noon.
Full details will be posted next month on a new Competitor Awards & Fundraiser page on www.inba.com.au and will detail the Awards, voting system, location and address, breakfast menu and attendees will be able to make bookings online. Ticket price includes an all you-can-eat buffet breakfast and is expected to be .50 (INBA Members) and for Attendees. We anticipate and look forward to this been a significant and richly rewarding annual event for our competitors
