This year, Sports Star, which is proudly supported by Bendigo Bank and Prime 7, celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Stars from many sports will gather at the 50th awards night on Friday, February 28 at the All Seasons Hotel.
A decade ago, the Bendigo Advertiser teamed up with Southern Cross 10 to run Sports Star.
The 40th awards presentation at the Schweppes Centre, now Bendigo Stadium, included plenty of entertainment.
The Sports Star of the Year for 2004-05 was gun basketballer Kristi Harrower.
A four-time Olympian and a world championship gold medallist, Harrower is in the Sports Star of the Year Hall of Fame.
The brilliant guard is still playing a key role for the Australia Pork Bendigo Spirit in its quest for a hat-trick of Women's National Basketball League championships.
