The REGIOSTARS Awards honor projects that have proven to be the most effective, becoming a European quality label for EU-funded initiatives that demonstrate impact and inclusiveness in regional development. The awards celebrate the creativity, dedication, and hard work of people across Europe.
The competition focuses on five key areas, each reflecting a priority of the EU’s regional policy:
- A Competitive and Smart Europe
- A Green Europe
- A Connected Europe
- A Social and Inclusive Europe
- A Europe Closer to Citizens
Submitted projects are evaluated by a panel of experts. The top five projects in each category advance to the finals, held during the European Week of Regions and Cities in Brussels.
The public also has the chance to vote for their favorite initiative in the Public Choice Award.
