Halls Medal

 

The first Halls Medal was awarded in 1964. Prior to that, Woollacott Medals were awarded.

 

As the women wanted a separate medal acknowledging women's basketball, a sponsor was sought. Halls, manufacturers of soft drinks agreed to sponsor the award. Henceforth, the Halls Medal was awarded to winners of the Best and Fairest player in the District Women's competition.

Like the Woollacott Medal, it was upgraded to the Fairest and most Brilliant player in the early 1970s.

In 1999 for the first time the medal was awarded to the ABA central Conference's Most Valuable Player. The votes are caste by referees post-game on a 3, 2, 1 basis. In 1981 and 1996, the competition experimented with coaches voting, before reverting to the original format.

Following is a list of past winners.
