As the official AFL airline and sponsor of the AFL Mark of the Year award, Virgin Australia is allowing Aussies to claim the title of Australia’s ‘ultimate’ Mark and score a bargain in its latest network sale.
Selected by a combination of committee and public votes, the Virgin Australia AFL Mark of the Year is an annual recognition of a player who performs the best mark of the season aka a high-flying catch where a player leaps above others to secure the ball.
While the Virgin Australia AFL Mark of the Year award traditionally celebrates the AFL season’s best mark, this year, everyday Aussies can also claim the title.
Whether your name is ‘Mark‘, you have a unique birthmark, work in marketing, or even change your social media display name to ‘Mark‘, there are plenty of ways to be the ultimate ‘Mark‘ and win prizes.
The person named ‘Mark of the Year’ will win two return economy airfares to Melbourne, two tickets to the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final and a $600 voucher to spend on hotel twin-share accommodation for two. Entries close on 15 September 2025 – more info here.
