To see the pictures from last year's awards...

Rewarding every level of football in Australia from the Socceroos and Matildas through to local grassroots clubs and players, the awards are returning for a second year after the success of last year's inaugural presentations.

The Australian Football Awards recognise players at a professional level together with teams, volunteers, coaches and referees at a non professional level.

"The popularity of our code continues to grow amongst men, women and children with approximately 970,000 Australians of all age groups playing the game either formally or informally," said FFA CEO Ben Buckley.

"And with the start of the local winter football season just around the corner, we are searching the country for the Team of the Year.

"Nominations for Team of the Year are open from today and we are calling out to the football family to nominate their team, or another team, that they believe deserve be rewarded," he said.

Team of the Year Award is open to any team which is part of a club registered with FFA, across all age groups. Teams may nominate online here until 26 March.

All winners of the 2010 Australian Football Awards will be announced at a special gala ceremony in Melbourne on 22 May.
