AFL General Manager of Women’s Football Nicole Livingstone said the Season Seven W Awards would be a celebration of excellence in women's footy.
"This is an incredibly unique year with two seasons now delivered and the competition expansion complete – I couldn't be prouder of what has been achieved by the entire industry to make it happen," Livingstone said.
"The W Awards is a true celebration of the progression of women's football and Season Seven's near completion is a testament to the strength and resilience of all 540 AFLW players and the clubs who gave it their all each and every week. The competition's outstanding performers will receive due recognition for the contribution they've made to their teams and the game in 2022.
"This is a huge week for women's footy, and we can't wait to announce all of this season's winners on the night."
