The New European Bauhaus Initiative: Empowering Small Municipalities

With backing from the European Parliament, the EU is launching a new initiative designed to support small municipalities by offering 20 awards.

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative for small municipalities aims to assist smaller communities in developing projects that are inclusive, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing. The goal is to help overcome initial challenges that these municipalities may face. These awards will not only celebrate the exceptional potential of these projects but will also increase the visibility and recognition of the municipalities involved.

Projects must focus on the built environment—such as the creation, renovation, or adaptation of buildings and public spaces—through the lenses of circularity, carbon neutrality, cultural heritage conservation, affordable housing, and the regeneration of urban or rural areas. Eligible initiatives should be well-advanced and demonstrate a participatory approach.

For projects that are already completed, applicants are invited to enter under Strand A of the New European Bauhaus Prizes 2025 competition.

An expert panel will select 20 winners from the top 30 ranked applications. Each winner will receive a prize of 30,000 €. In addition to the monetary reward, each recipient will benefit from a communication package provided by the European Commission. This includes promotion support via the Commission’s social media channels and websites, assistance in creating a short video, and help in further promoting the project.

Applications for the NEB boost for small municipalities will be open from 14 January 2025 until 14 February 2025 at 19:00 CET.
