After hundreds of nominations from across the country, the AWFA has made it to the top four of the Clubbies 2020 Best Sports Association Award.
President Mark Leman paid tribute to executive committee for the hard work it has put in to get to this stage.
"The AWFA brand is more visual than it's ever been and we're trying to encourage more people to come along," Leman said.
"We've got growth in miniroos and all abilities, as well as more awareness about female participation and we're working hard to grow that in our sport.
"What AWFA has brought to the community in terms of events the past few years, such as branch championships, Vic Country championships and this year we also hope to bring the Country Cup, seeing all regional associations come to our area.
"It will be a good feather in the cap if we were to win and will put us on the map as an association."

Leman said Saturdays season launch at QEII Square was a good example of how the clubs and the association are working together.
"It was a positive opportunity for the clubs to market and promote themselves to the community and let people know where they can find them," he said.
