Get ready for the 2008 Deadly Awards.

VOTE for your favourite Deadly nominee
In Pictures: Highlights from the 2007 Deadlys
The Deadlys is a major event on the Indigenous calendar, showcasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander excellence in music, sport, entertainment and community leadership.
Most awards are decided by popular vote, so all Australians get the chance to speak out and let the whole country know who they think is “deadly”.
Even with a national apology given and received, Indigenous issues remain deservedly high on the nation’s agenda. The 14th Deadly Awards organised by VIBE Australia celebrate the many achievements of Australia’s first people and highlight the work that’s being done to face the challenges ahead.
This year’s ceremony will be hosted by actor Luke Carroll, and will feature performances by sensationally-gifted musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, Australian Idol runner-up Jessica Mauboy, legend Jimmy Little and Black Arm Band member (and Deadly nominee) Ursula Yovich.
Also gracing the red carpet will be nominees Casey Donovan, Christine Anu, Tammy Clarkson, Aaron Fa’aoso, Aaron Pedersen, Archie Roach, Troy Cassar-Daley, Adam Goodes, Lance Franklin and Greg Inglis.
Olympic athletes including Benn Harradine (discus) Jade North (soccer) Patrick Mills (basketball), Rohanee Cox (basketball) and Stacey Porter (softball) are also in the running for an award.
Community leadership is an important part of the Deadly Awards and nominees in this category include those making a difference in education, medical research, human rights and health delivery.
Tune in to SBS’s coverage of the 2008 Deadly Awards for all the glamour, excitement, talent and pride that Indigenous Australia has to offer.
The 14th Deadly Awards will screen on SBS immediately after the first episode of First Australians, a landmark SBS production that chronicles the birth of contemporary Australia, as told from the perspective of its first people.
