    The 3DAAA committee is asking for nominations for the annual Young Achievers award. To nominate a young member, please complete the nomination form at the bottom of the page, explaining why you think this person is worthy of winning this annual award. 

    This annual award was introduced to recognise some of our outstanding young archers.

    This award is not simply about performance, this award also encompasses a positive attitude towards 3D archery and in particular, 3DAAA. While performing at your best is always something our Young Achiever strives for, they also understand that having fun and promoting the sport in the wider community are also important.

    The award is decided by the committee after reviewing nominations made by the young archers club or a member of the association who feels the cub or youth should be recognised for their efforts with a special presentation.

    This award is open to all cub and youth shooters and is presented with other annual awards at the Associations Annual Awards Ceremony following the Australian Titles in November at Nambucca Heads.
