AG Society Adventure Awards
AG Adventurer of the Year Award
Recognising greatness since 1987, the Australian Geographic Society Adventurer of the Year Award is Australia’s longest running award for adventure. The Adventurer of the Year Award has been bestowed to some of the country’s most respected adventurers. As the AG Awards are a celebration of achievement and not a competition as such, not all categories are awarded annually. Each nomination and category is judged on merit alone.
