Every round, two nominations are given to standout young players who performed well during that particular round. To be eligible for nomination, a player must be younger than 21 years of age on 1 January of that year and not be suspended during the season.

At the end of the season, the selection panel, which also votes for the AFL Women's All-Australian team, votes for five of the nominees, with their top selections earning five votes, their second selection earning four votes, etc. The player who receives the most votes is the winner.
