Anyone in the EU can submit a recent project – from a local initiative to an industry-wide programme – or a profile of a person that is helping the citizens, industry or the public sector work towards achieving the EU Green Deal objectives.

Everyone is encouraged to participate in the online public vote after the finalists are announced

The Awards competition highlights new and innovative ways to shape Europe’s energy future and culminates with the Awards Ceremony at the Policy Conference.

If you are contributing to a clean, secure and efficient energy system, then the European Sustainable Energy Week is for you. The EUSEW Policy Conference 2025 will focus on Clean Industrial Deal and EU energy policy role in advancing clean, competitive and just transition. In the context of the  REPowerEU  plan to accelerate the clean energy transition and increase Europe’s energy independence, this annual event is an excellent opportunity to meet stakeholders promoting energy efficiency and renewable energies, learn about successful policies, and inspire innovation towards meeting the EU’s energy and climate goals. 

Along with being considered best-in-class for their contribution to a sustainable energy future, winners and finalists receive added visibility for their work. A professional film crew visits the finalists to create a promotional video of their work, and their profiles are promoted on the EUSEW communication channels, as well as being included in a press package sent to pan-EU and local media outlets.
