Deadline: 31-Jan-23
The EU Members States and the Western Balkans are now being invited to submit applications for the New European Bauhaus Prizes 2023.
The Prizes recognise and reward existing projects and young people’s concepts, which demonstrate that the sustainable solutions promoted by the European Green Deal can also be inclusive and beautiful, bringing high-quality experiences to people’s everyday lives.
Categories
The Prizes will be awarded in four thematic categories:
- Reconnecting with nature
- Regaining a sense of belonging
- Prioritising the places and people that need it the most
- The need for long-term, life-cycle thinking in the industrial ecosystem.
Strands
In each of the four categories, there are three parallel competition strands
- Strand A: “New European Bauhaus Champions”, devoted to existing and completed projects with clear and positive results.
- Strand B: “New European Bauhaus Rising Stars”, dedicated to concepts submitted by young talents aged 30 or less. The concepts can be at different stages of development, from ideas with a clear plan to the prototype level.
- Strand C: “New European Bauhaus Education Champions”, devoted to initiatives focusing on education and learning. Both completed projects, as well as initiatives with a minimum level of maturity are eligible.
Benefits
- There will be 15 prizes in total. The jury will select 12 winners (one winner for each category in each strand). Three winners will be selected through an open public voting (one winner per strand).
- All winners will receive a monetary prize:
- EUR 30,000 for winners of the New European Bauhaus Champions (Strand A) and New European Bauhaus Education Champions (Strand C),
- EUR 15,000 for winners of the New European Bauhaus Rising Stars (Strand B).
- All finalists will be invited to Brussels to participate in the award ceremony, and will benefit from a communication package provided by the Commission in order to support the promotion of their project.
Eligibility Criteria
- Both EU and non-EU residents are welcomed to apply, as long as their projects, concepts or ideas are implemented in the EU or in the Western Balkans.
- Group of individuals and organisations applications are also possible. Applicants to Strand B must be aged 30 or less on the final day of call for applications. In Strands A and C there is no age limit.
- Experts, thinkers, doers, neighbours, ministers, students, educators, or researchers are invited to submit applications under Strand C, which is dedicated to initiatives focusing on education and learning.
- Eligible applications which have not been awarded a New European Bauhaus prize in any of the strands and categories in previous editions of the Prizes, may submit applications of the same project, concept, or initiative again.
