SportingPulse and the Herald Sun will be running a 5 week local football series lift out in September. This is a great opportunity for TAC Cup clubs or supporters to submit articles regarding their club.
The insert will be written by the community for the community, and we encourage you to submit your stories. They do not guarantee your story will make the final cut but they do guarantee that they will circulate all submitted content across all SportingPulse AFL websites in Victoria. With over 90 leagues and 1300 clubs in the race to submit content, the sooner it is received the more likely the inclusion.
While the chance to have your TAC Cup club and its stories published should be incentive enough, there are also great prizes on offer.
Prizes/incentives include:
- The content piece voted the best by SportingPulse will win a $5,000 cash prize for their club.
- The author of the content piece voted the best by The Herald Sun will win a 4 week cadetship in the Herald Sun sport department.
This is the biggest celebration of local footy in the Herald Sun for decades. Please contribute your stories to ensure your club has the opportunity to share its story with 1.4m Victorians this September.
