Applications are open for the New European Bauhaus (NEB) Prizes 2025. The New European Bauhaus prizes exemplify beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive real-life projects and encourage the younger generation to develop new concepts and ideas.
It is now a well-established annual competition that provides a platform for creativity, talent, and innovative ideas to the benefit of local communities and society as a whole. The past three 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. In four editions of the NEB Prizes, more than 5,000 applications have been received, and a total of over €1.5 million was awarded to the 72 outstanding winners.
Prizes
The four prize categories reflect the New European Bauhaus transformation themes:
- Reconnecting with nature
- Regaining a sense of belonging
- Prioritising the places and people that need it the most
- Shaping a circular industrial ecosystem and supporting life-cycle thinking
