Awards
The Australian Geographic Society Adventure Award is Australia's longest running award for adventure. It has been in operation since 1987, and is bestowed upon Australia's most respected adventurers. The award is judged on merit, therefore not all of the categories are awarded annually. The award is given in two categories - Adventurer of the Year, and Young Adventurer of the Year.
Each year the society bestows awards as a celebration of achievement and not a competition as such, not all categories are awarded annually.
