The Europe Prize
The Europe Prize[1] was established in 1955 by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. It is awarded each year to one or more towns or municipalities that have made exceptional efforts to spread the ideal of European unity.
Winning cities demonstrate their commitment to European ideals through twinnings, European-themed events, exchanges and visits.
The Europe Prize award system
Three other awards - the European Diploma, the Flag of Honour and the Plaque of Honour - form part of the Europe Prize system, allowing towns to progress through various levels before applying for the top award, the Europe Prize itself.[1]
