AUSA Club Awards celebrate the clubs, people and ideas that make student life at Adelaide University better.
From outstanding events and creative campaigns to exceptional leadership and the little things that make a club special, these awards recognise the people and clubs creating opportunities, building community and bringing students together.
Know a club that's gone above and beyond? A Club Executive who's made a huge difference? An event you couldn't stop talking about? Or just something that deserves a bit of recognition? Nominate them for an AUSA Club Award.
Nominations close 30th September 2026
Anyone can nominate
You don't need to be a Club Executive, a member of the club or even a student to nominate. If you think a club, Club Executive, event, merchandise or marketing campaign deserves recognition, tell us why.
What makes a good nomination?

Not everything worth celebrating fits neatly into an award category.
Maybe your club has the most impressive group chat. Maybe you've mastered the art of the last-minute event. Maybe your club has the best mascot. Maybe your committee has survived something that should probably have ended the club altogether.
Miscellaneous Awards celebrate the weird, wonderful, unexpected and downright impressive things that make AUSA clubs unique.
