The GIANTS were recognised at the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) Media Awards in Melbourne, taking home the award for Best Coverage of Sport by a Club or Organisation.

The Best Coverage of Sport by a Club or Organisation award recognises the ability of sporting clubs and organisations to engage with members and supporters through their own media channels. A strong emphasis is on unique approaches that engage fans and encourage people to become more active in sport.
