Celebrating Excellence: The QWA Awards Night
The Queensland Weightlifting Association is proud to launch our QWA Awards Night, an evening dedicated to honouring the athletes, coaches, officials, clubs, and unforgettable moments that make our weightlifting community one of the strongest in Australia.
This event is more than a celebration of performance; it’s a tribute to the passion, dedication, and spirit that define Queensland Weightlifting.
