2014 European Prize for Urban Public Space

The Prize, which is honorific by nature, is awarded jointly to the authors and promoters of the projects chosen by the Jury. The prize-winners (of the Prize itself and Honourable Mentions) will receive a Diploma confirming the award. In addition, the winner of the Prize will receive a commemorative plaque which is to be installed in the prize-winning public space.

The prize-winning works, the finalists and a selection made by the Jury will be published in the European Archive of Urban Public Space, which brings together and makes available to the public the best projects that have been presented in the competition since its inception and will make part of travelling exhibition of the 2014 Prize.

CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION

Works that have created, recovered or improved public space within the geographic limits of the Council of Europe in the years 2012 and 2013 may present for the Prize. These entries must be presented by the authors or the institutions that have sponsored the public space project.

Given that some urban public space interventions are of very long duration, any project that has not been completely finalised in the time period of 2012-2013 may still present for the Prize if enough phases of the envisaged end result have been completed to enable evaluation of the eventual repercussions of the intervention as a whole within its urban setting.

Anyone wishing to present for the Prize must complete and submit, within the established time limit, all the documentation stipulated in the Rules.
