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 four 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.
