● Collaboration between organisations or individuals in two or more European countries;
● Contribution to developing a sense of European identity or European social cohesion; and/or
● Enrichment and deepening of symbolic meanings and aesthetic values drawn from European tradition.
Up to 30 heritage achievements from all over Europe will be awarded. Of those, 7 laureates will receive a Grand Prix and €10,000 each; one will be granted the Public Choice Award, chosen through an online poll conducted by Europa Nostra.
All the winners will be celebrated at the European Heritage Awards Ceremony in June in Berlin. The Ceremony is the main highlight of the European Cultural Heritage Summit organised by Europa Nostra the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (SPK) and the German Cultural Heritage Committee (DNK).
