The New European Bauhaus has opened the second edition for applications for prizes. New European Bauhaus is about focusing on better living together in more beautiful, sustainable and inclusive places.
Following last year, the New European Bauhaus prize 2022 will reward both existing examples and new ideas and concepts in four different categories: “reconnecting with nature”, “regaining a sense of belonging”, “prioritising the places and people that need it the most”, and “shaping a circular industrial ecosystem and supporting life-cycle thinking”. In each of the categories, there are two parallel competition strands: the “New European Bauhaus Awards”(must have already been completed at the time of the application, projects that are older than 2 years cannot apply); and the “New European Bauhaus Rising Stars” (can be at different stages of development from the early concepts to prototype level and should be presented with a development plan, outlining the foreseen steps envisaged to further develop, promote and/or implement the concept/idea with a particular focus on the year following the application).
Both EU and non-EU nationals can apply, as long as their concept, idea or project is actually developed and/or physically located in the EU. Also, joint/partner and consortium type applications are possible too, with the same criteria as for EU-based projects.
Also, Horizon includes a new funding call in the framework of the New European Bauhaus initiative : “The NEB shaping a greener and fairer way of life in creative and inclusive societies through Architecture, Design and Arts”, with a budget of 6 million euros and a deadline on 20 April 2022.
The deadline for submissions is on 28 February. More informations and applicant guides in different languages can be found here.
The New European Bauhaus is about bridging global challenges with local solutions to achieve the climate targets and support a broader transformation on the ground.
