National, regional or local authorities or public-private partnerships from all EU Member States including Iceland, Norway, Serbia and Turkey are invited to participate. The application can be made until May 2014.
Eligible entities can be national organisations, towns, cities, regions and communities as well as public-private partnerships between public authorities and entrepreneurs, educational programmes and business organisations.
Cross-border initiatives will be accepted as long as they are nominated jointly by all countries involved.
A shortlist of nominees will be chosen by the European jury. All nominees from the national and European competitions will be invited to attend the awards ceremony, which recognises the winners for their efforts and gives them the opportunity to present themselves in a pan-European environment.
