European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards: Open call for entries

The European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards recognise and promote the multiple values of cultural and natural heritage for Europe’s society, economy and environment. They were set up by the European Commission, and are run by Europa Nostra. The action is co-funded under the Creative Europe Programme.

The Awards honour every year up to 30 outstanding heritage achievements, among which up to five Grand Prix. Each winner of a Grand Prix receives a monetary award of €10.000. In addition, the Public Choice Award is presented to one of the selected award winners, following an online vote conducted by Europa Nostra.

The call for entries for the 2026 edition is open until 9 September.
