EC opens calls for New European Bauhaus Prizes 2025 and NEB Boost for Small Municipalities

On 14 January 2025, the European Commission opened applications for two awards inspired by the New European Bauhaus (NEB): the fifth edition of the New European Bauhaus Prizes and the new NEB Boost for Small Municipalities.
Awarding beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive projects, the NEB Prizes and the NEB Boost have different objectives and target audiences:
- The NEB Prizes will honour outstanding projects and ideas from individuals, teams, and organisations.
- The NEB Boost for Small Municipalities will support smaller local governments in implementing transformative projects with a strong community engagement.
After over 5,000 applications received in total for the past editions, the New European Bauhaus Prizes will this year award 22 exemplary innovative projects and concepts that represent sustainability, aesthetics, and inclusiveness.
In parallel to the NEB Prizes, the Commission launched applications for the NEB Boost for Small Municipalities. This new initiative, supported by a pilot project of the European Parliament, will award 20 projects aligned with the NEB values and principles that demonstrate a strong community engagement and a sufficient level of maturity.
Applications for the Prizes and the NEB Boost for Small Municipalities are open until 14 February 2025 at 19:00 CET. Applications for both should be submitted through the official New European Bauhaus Prizes platform. The 22 winners of the NEB Prizes and the 20 winners of the NEB Boost for Small Municipalities will be announced in an award ceremony in the European Parliament in autumn.
