The European Charlemagne Youth Prize is an award that is given to youth-led projects that foster democracy, promote active citizenship and bring communities together. It celebrates the powerful work that young people do every day to shape a shared European identity and make a lasting impact on Europe’s future.
The award is run jointly by the European Parliament and the Foundation of the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen.
In order to participate in the European Charlemagne Youth Prize, you will need to:
- Have a European project with which you wish to apply;
- Be between 16 and 30 years old;
- Be a resident of one of the EU Member States - You can submit a project either as an individual applicant or on behalf of an organisation or a group of young people.
All submitted projects will be first evaluated by the national jury of the project’s Member State, which will select a single nomination. From these 27 national winners, the three top European laureates will be selected by the European Jury and awarded up to €7500 in prize money for their projects
