Blues and Sport Awards
The tradition of the Blue originated at Oxford and Cambridge Universities is now an annual event with the University of Melbourne Blues announced each November. To date, over 11,000 Blues or Half-Blues have been awarded to University sporting representatives since 1870 - these include University of Melbourne sporting alumni who are Olympians, World Champions, Commonwealth Games representatives, Wallabies and many other National champions and representatives.
The University Sport Awards recognizes outstanding individual and team performances of athletes and teams representing the University at endorsed Intervarsity or Uni Sport Australia events.
