Football West today launches the 2021 NAIDOC Ball Design Competition.
We have teamed up with our partner the Insurance Commission of Western Australia to invite the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community to create a design which will be printed on to footballs and distributed to clubs across the State.
As well as the winning design, the footballs will carry the Insurance Commission’s Belt Up road safety message.
The winning artist will receive a $1,000 sports equipment voucher and a set of 10 footballs carrying the winning design.
