Tidy Town or City of the Year:-

Towns and cities are encouraged to enter into as many categories as they can to be in the running to be the overall Tidy Town or City of the Year. This award is based off judges scores for individual community projects that are entered.

National Tidy Towns Awards:-

The Winner of the overall Victorian Tidy Towns Award will automatically be entered into the National Keep Australia Beautiful Tidy Towns – Sustainability Awards. The Categories for the National Awards are slightly different to the Victorian Tidy Towns Awards, however there is overlap.

These awards are open to community groups, businesses, government, individuals, educational institutions and not-for-profit groups. Anyone can enter a project or submit a nomination for the Dame Phyllis Frost Award.
