Bowler with a Disability of the Year
Club of the Year
Official of the Year

BA strongly encourages all members of the bowls community to put forward nominations for the eligible awards, with the selection criteria not limited to only national or international achievements; many recognise the contribution and achievements across all levels.
Nominations for the 2022 Awards Night close at midnight on Sunday, July 31.
This year’s Awards Night event will also incorporate the Hall of Fame component, with a number of individuals set to be inducted or elevated to Legend status.
