About the NEB Prizes

The 2026 Prizes mark an important step forward. Building on five years of inspiring projects across Europe and beyond, this edition introduces new categories, expands its geographical reach, launches a dedicated Water Resilience Special Prize, strengthens its international dimension, and introduces a new Accelerator Programme to support finalists beyond financial recognition.
