The EAVC National Awards recognise outstanding achievement of horses and vaulters around Australia. They will be presented at the conclusion of the National Championships each year.

Vaulter Awards
The EAVC National Awards will be based on the results of all official competitions held since the previous Nationals under the National Vaulting Rules. Results from the competitions will be put into the National Leaderboard available at https://www.equestrian.org.au/Vaulting-leader-board.
Vaulters must have a minimum of 3 scores from separate events to be eligible for the National Awards, except for the squad award where 2 scores will be eligible.
The top 3 scores from separate events throughout the year will be averaged and the highest average will win the award. For the squad award, the top 2 scores throughout the year will be averaged and the highest average will win the award.
Scores can come from all official competitions held under Australian Vaulting Rules or CVIs. Equivalent CVI classes correspond to the National classes in the following manner.
