With the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games imminent, ambitious sporting superstars are set to receive a boost with the Woolworths aspiring athletes competition.
The competition is part of the supermarket’s fresh partnership with the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games with a top prize being awarded in each State or territory.
Each winner will be given $2,000 and a year’s supply of Woolworths fresh food kids friendly mini fruit for kids packs. A national winner will also be selected and will receive a major, money-can’t-buy prize that includes a two-hour meet and greet session with an Australian athlete.
“We believe that Redland City kids are grown for gold and that our region produces some great talent,” local Woolworths group manager, Rob Draper said;
“At Woolworths we want to ensure aspiring athletes from the local Redland City community have the best chance to reach their potential, whether that’s winning this competition or by supporting them to be fresh food kids. We’re looking forward to joining the community to rally behind our home grown athletes during the upcoming Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.”
The judging panel will include young weightlifting super star and Woolworths employee, Ridge Barredo.
“Being part of the panel to choose the winners is a great privilege and an added bonus to being selected to represent Australia at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games,” Ridge Barredo said.
The competition is open to parents or guardians with children aged three to 13. To submit a form, visit woolworths.com.au/aspiringathletes. Entries close on April 19.
