About

The  New European Bauhaus (NEB) Prizes is a well-established competition that awards outstanding projects and initiatives that combine sustainability, inclusion and aesthetics, demonstrating how the European Green Deal transition can practically enrich the lives of people and communities.

The past four editions of the Prizes in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 demonstrated a great interest and commitment of people throughout and beyond Europe to shape a New European Bauhaus inspired world. Over 5000 applications have been received and 72  awarded till this year.

In 2023, the Prizes expanded their geographical scope to include applications from the Western Balkans, in addition to the EU Member States. In the 2024 edition, Ukraine was also included in the competition, with two projects receiving a 'Special Recognition for Ukraine’s Reconstruction and Recovery Effort' prize.
