Across the country our #LitterHeroes and partners have gone above and beyond to spruce up their communities and clear litter as part of the Great British Spring Clean, and this is your chance - and ours - to say a huge thank you.
Keep Britain Tidy is once again running the Great British Spring Clean Awards - the Golden Globes of the litter-fighting community (one might even call them the Green Globes!) - to officially recognise and reward our volunteers and partners taking part in the 2025 campaign.
We have seven public awards up for grabs, which are detailed below, and you can either nominate on behalf of yourself/your group, or another #LitterHero who has inspired you by clicking the category below and filling in the form.
Please click on our accordion below to learn more about each category and access the correct nomination form..
Our eighth award, the Golden Litter Picker, is chosen by the Keep Britain Tidy Team from the overall public submissions across these categories and so does not have a public nomination form.
To be considered for the 2025 awards, please submit an entry before May 31, 2025. This will be considered by our judging panel over the summer and a winner in each category will be announced at the launch of the 2026 campaign.
Please note that under 18s will need to be nominated by an adult, and the details of their parent or guardian submitted.
*Please make sure your nomination is made in the correct category to avoid disappointment - Keep Britain Tidy reserves the right to move your entry to the correct category if a submission is made in error.*
