Ergon Energy Tidy Towns is Keep Australia Beautiful's flagship program and has operated in Queensland since 1971, making it the longest running of Keep Australia Beautiful's competitions.
It is the most broadly contested civic program in Queensland.
Each year, hundreds of Queensland villages, towns and cities and thousands of volunteers participate in this popular, community-based environment competition.
From the smallest and most remote communities of fewer than 10 people to the regional metropolises and their populations in the tens of thousands, Ergon Energy Tidy Towns brings communities together.

The Tidy Towns theme of Our Town, Our Home, Our Future is enthusiastically embraced by Queensland communities each year as they vie for the prestigious title of Queensland's Tidiest Town.
Keep Australia Beautiful Queensland judges take into account every community's geographic, environmental, cultural and economic circumstances, and assess how efficiently and effectively the community uses the resources available to it against a range of criteria, including:
|
 | environmental protection and innovation | |
litter prevention | |
resource management | |
youth initiatives | |
visitor friendliness | |
cultural and heritage activities | |
community partnerships and action |
