VICTORY MEDAL, MELBOURNE VICTORY FOOTBALL CLUB – CORPORATE EVENT MANAGEMENT

Victory Medal is the annual awards night for Melbourne Victory Football Club (MVFC). The night recognises the achievement of the players of MVFC’s teams across three leagues – A-League, Women’s League and Youth League. Nine awards are presented across the evening which is held each May in the Palladium at Crown.

Over 750 guests attend the annual awards night including players and staff from the three MVFC teams, board of directors, senior management from the governing body, Federal and State ministers, sponsors, corporate guests and fans.

The evening is heavily weighted towards the use of multimedia (video packages, animations, graphic design and slides) for the presentation of awards and the vote count. Video highlights packages are produced for all award winners and music stings for all presenters and guests to stage.
