New European Bauhaus Prizes 2025: Championing Inclusive and Sustainable Spaces

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) Prizes are returning for 2025, offering an exceptional opportunity to showcase creative projects that transform living spaces into sustainable, inclusive, and beautiful environments. The NEB, an EU policy and funding initiative, aims to make the green transition not only feasible but also enjoyable and appealing for everyone.

Recognising that even the smallest communities deserve spaces that enhance well-being and foster a sense of belonging, the NEB prioritises solutions that honour Europe's rich diversity of cultures, traditions, and places. With a strong focus on neighbourhoods, the initiative engages people at the grassroots level, offering tailored solutions, tools, and guidance to meet the unique needs of different communities. By integrating diverse stakeholder perspectives, the NEB ensures its projects are inclusive, people-centred, and impactful, while also boosting economic competitiveness and EU strategic autonomy.

What’s New for 2025?

This year’s Prizes will focus on housing as a priority theme, reflecting the EU's vision for addressing future challenges. Additionally, for the first time, exclusive awards will be presented to small municipalities, thanks to the support of the European Parliament. These awards will celebrate remarkable community projects that embody the NEB values of inclusivity, sustainability, and innovation.

Projects and concepts implemented in the EU, the Western Balkans, and Ukraine are all eligible, making this a truly collaborative and far-reaching initiative.
