Award
The AFL Women's Rising Star award is presented annually to the best young player in the AFL Women's (AFLW) during the home-and-away season. The first award was awarded in 2017. The award has been sponsored by Telstra since 2024.[1]
Eligibility and voting procedure
To be eligible for nomination, a player must be under 21 years of age on 1 January of that year and not have been previously nominated.[2] Players suspended during the season may be nominated,[3] but cannot win.[4] At the end of the season, each member of a voting panel, which also selects the AFL Women's All-Australian team, awards five votes, four votes, three votes, two votes and one vote to the nominated players they judge the best to fifth-best during the season respectively; the player with the highest total of votes wins.[5]
