About the Awards

Keep Australia Beautiful WA's annual Tidy Towns Sustainable Communities Awards are for regional and remote communities of all sizes. There are nine categories that communities can enter to showcase their projects. There is a Leadership Award given at the Judges' discretion. Each award has prize money and kudos, with the overall State Winner going on to represent WA in the National Tidy Towns Sustainability Awards.

Entering the awards is your opportunity to celebrate the achievement of your regional community, and show how you are protecting and enhancing your environment. By working together, you are building a sustainable community, making it an amazing place to live and visit. Regional and remote towns, localities and cities and remote indigenous communities in Western Australia can enter projects that have been initiated, completed or maintained between July 2025 and June 2026.

Any local individual, group, shire, council, business, organisation or school can enter their regional or remote community and projects in the awards.
