Introduced in 2009, the MVP Award is presented to the best performing player in the SANFL Under-18 Competition.
One player is nominated for the Award each round throughout the home-and-away season, with the overall winner selected by a panel of judges chaired by SANFL Head of Talent Brenton Phillips at the conclusion of the minor round.
