BROOKE Anderson is showcasing her skills at the Youth Olympic Games this week in Nanjing, China.
The Brighton-Le-Sands teenager is a member of the Australian women's rugby union sevens team. The Games run until August 28.
Brooke, 18, is one of the many candidates for the Leader Sportstar awards in the senior category.
In the junior award category, basketballer Isaac Humphries, 16, of Cronulla, is a rising star.
He was a member of Australia's under-17 team which finished with a silver medal in the World Championship in Dubai, losing 92-99 to the star-studded US in Saturday's final.
During the event the 200-centimetre tall basketballer scored a record 41 points, against Canada.
Isaac was named in the All Star Five team after the titles, so dominant was his form.
The Leader sportstar awards are judged on well-established criteria, based on performances ranging from the local level up to international standard.
Criteria for major sportstar awards are that a sportsperson is to be judged on their results for the 2014 calendar year at (in order) world, Olympic, Commonwealth, national and state level.
In other words, the highest achievement, like becoming world champion, has more significance with judges than being nominated several times for lesser results.
For the annual awards, a panel of judges also gives runners-up and encouragement awards, as well as awards for teams, school teams, coaches and companies helping sport, based on merit.
The decision of the judges is final and no correspondence can be entered into.
Include nominee's name, age, address, photograph (where possible) and daytime phone number.
Award categories are senior sportstar of the year, junior sportstar of the year, athletes with a disability, masters, junior team, all- schools team, senior team and local sports club.
