- Applications for projects, concepts or ideas that have already received public funding are eligible, as long as they have not won an EU prize.
- The applicant will assume sole liability in the event of a claim relating to the activities carried out in the framework of the contest;
- The name of the legal representative must be indicated.
- The application shall contain basic information and credits for the work/concept, along with:
- In strand A: at least six (6) photographs with indications on copyright and the authorisation to use them by the European Commission. For examples which cannot be presented through photographs, other type of visual representation can be used (graphs, drawings, etc.)
- In strand B: at least one (1) photograph or visual representation of the concept/idea with indications on copyright and the authorisation to use them by the European Commission.
- The application shall consist in a fully completed application form as found on the website; all mandatory fields must be filled in. Each applicant must sign the Privacy Statement that accompanies the application form.
