Nominating Process

All Nominees, regardless of category, are considered on merit. Historical results, personal profile, cultural and community engagement, and other achievements form the basis for background checking Nominees, who are then put forward for consideration. Nominees will be considered in no particular chronological order, and all will be considered on merit. Once a nomination has been received for a person there is no need to re-nominate if unsuccessful. Each nomination carries over into subsequent years for consideration. Additional information for non-successful applications is welcome at any time.

Members of the public are invited to submit nominations for the following year by the closing deadline of December 30th. Nominations must be made using the Online Nomination Form and include detailed justification.

Exhibition

The Australian BMX Hall of Fame exhibition is managed by the Australian BMX Museum. The Museum is the caretaker of the Hall of Fame Exhibition which is currently in the planning stages with key stakeholders. The Australian BMX Museum will feature select displays of historical items from Hall of Fame Inductees including (but not limited to):

• Bikes

• Clothing

• Trophies

Where required, replicas of important memorabilia will be created when originals no longer exist. An official physical location for the Australian BMX Museum and Hall of Fame is still to be confirmed. Until then, a mobile (pop-up) exhibition will feature each year at select events when opportunities arise.
