To celebrate the upcoming 35th anniversary of Clean Up Australia Day in March 2025, we are delighted to announce that we are launching our inaugural Clean Up Australia Community Awards.
These awards will recognise the ongoing commitment and environmental stewardship of volunteers, community members, councils and education champions across Australia. They will honour the exceptional and innovative efforts of individuals and communities committed to helping to eliminate litter, end waste and preserve our natural surroundings.
The Clean Up Australia Community Awards are open for nomination submissions and consist of five award categories:
1. Individual Community Champion Award
Recognising a volunteer for their service, taking into consideration the number of clean up events they have participated in and how they have promoted the event within their local community.
2. Group Community Champion Award
Recognising community groups and community-based organisations who have shown consistent participation in clean up events and promoted this within the local community.
3. Schools Sustained Environmental Award
Recognising education champions for how they have implemented and sustained environmental change within their school or educational institution.
4. Outstanding Council Award
Recognising outstanding councils for their commitment, support and longevity of their relationship with Clean Up Australia.
The highlight of the awards will be the announcement of the Ian Kiernan Impact Award, highlighting a particular individual or group from the entries received who are a stand-out nominee and have gone above and beyond in their commitment to the environment.
Winners will be presented with their awards at a Clean Up Australia Day 2025 launch, to be held in early 2025. One winner and two highly commended awards will be presented for each of the four categories.
Nominations are open from August 1st until September 30th.
