The Awards weekend celebrates the achievements of these dedicated and passionate people from across regional NSW and allows other communities to learn from their experiences and successes.

The search is on for councils, towns, organisations, businesses and individuals across NSW who are leading the way to a sustainable future.

These annual awards inspire councils and communities to make a genuine and lasting contribution to their area. There are a broad range of award categories to enter with emphasis on partnerships between local authorities, businesses, community groups, schools and individuals.

You don't need to be a KAB NSW member to enter and there are no entry fees.

The benefits of entering the awards are many, to which those who have taken part can testify. Your communities, volunteers and hard work can gain recognition, in turn assisting with grant funding, future planning approvals and state-wide credibility. In addition to the increase in civic pride, community organisations can position themselves as leaders in their area of expertise.

The Tidy Towns Awards are open to rural, regional and coastal towns and villages across NSW. Category entrants include (but are not limited to) Tidy Towns groups, Individuals, Progress Associations and CWA's, Youth Organisations, Landcare Groups, Chambers of Commerce, Local Authorities/Council's, Tourism Associations, School's, Pre Schools, Businesses, Small Enterprises and Industry, Registered Clubs and Service groups.
