Open Call for New European Bauhaus Prizes 2025 & NEB Boost for Small Municipalities
- OrganiserEuropean Commission
Recognizing excellence in sustainability, and inclusivity, the NEB Prizes and NEB Boost for Small Municipalities serve distinct purposes and audiences:
- The NEB Prizes celebrate outstanding projects and visionary ideas from individuals, teams, and organizations.
- The NEB Boost for Small Municipalities provides support to smaller local governments, helping them implement transformative projects that foster strong community engagement.
Innovative thinkers and change-makers from Europe and beyond are encouraged to submit their projects and ideas that transform how we live and connect with our surroundings.
2025 New European Bauhaus Prizes
The 2025 New European Bauhaus Prizes will recognize 22 outstanding projects that embody sustainability, aesthetics, and inclusivity. This year’s edition places a special focus on housing with the introduction of the NEB “Affordable Housing Prizes.”
Under the "New European Bauhaus Champions" strand, four projects within the EU will be awarded for their contributions to improving housing affordability while upholding NEB values and principles.
The 2025 NEB Prizes will celebrate both existing projects and concepts from young talents across four key categories:
- Reconnecting with nature
- Regaining a sense of belonging
- Prioritizing the places and people that need it most
- Shaping a circular industrial ecosystem and supporting life-cycle thinking
The 2025 Prizes, supported by cohesion policy, will award 22 winners and runners-up with up to €30,000 and a communication package to support their projects.
A new NEB initiative supporting small municipalities in transformative projects
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.
