 | European Prize for Urban Public Space calls for submissions 24-01-2008 The European Prize for Urban Public Space is a biennial competition that aims
to highlight the importance of public space as a catalyst of urban life, and to
recognise and foster investment by public administrations in its creation,
conservation and improvement, while also understanding the state of public space
as a clear indicator of the civic and collective health of our cities. The
European Prize for Urban Public Space now welcomes the submission of major
projects of creating and remodelling public spaces that have been completed in
Europe between 2006 and 2007. The registration period closes on 15 March 2008.
In order to enter for the European Prize for Urban Public Space, the works
must be presented for the award by the institution/s that has initiated the
intervention, or by its author/s. Works or interventions in newly created or
remodelled urban spaces that present for the Prize must be public property or
offer free access to the public. The Prize covers all countries that form part
of the continent of Europe, including islands. If it is desired to present
interventions that aim to create areas within the city network, it must be born
in mind that, apart from general considerations about the effect as a whole, the
results achieved within these public spaces will be the ones specifically
evaluated.
Since some urban interventions involve long periods of work before their
completion, projects that have not been fully completed in 2006 or 2007 may also
present for the Prize if enough phases have been finished so as to enable
assessment of the urban repercussions of the intervention as a whole. In order
to present for the Prize, the required documentation as specified in these rules
must be submitted before the established deadline.
