Beautiful Awards 2023 winners

Our Beautiful Awards are New Zealand’s longest-running sustainability awards and provide a benchmark for environmental excellence. Run annually since 1972, the Awards inspire, recognise and acknowledge those individuals, schools, community groups, towns and cities working passionately to Keep New Zealand Beautiful.

Beautiful Awards 2023

This year’s Beautiful Awards consist of 13 awards across four categories: Individuals, Community, Places and Towns & Cities. Thanks to Resene there will also be a Supreme Award available in the Towns & Cities category, with the winning town or city winning a mural painting valued up to $10,000.

We asked Kiwis everywhere to nominate the people, projects and places that they believed illustrate the height of environmental excellence in Aotearoa. From all the nominations received, our Beautiful Awards judges chose this year’s recipients and finalists.
