WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
The evaluation process will be carried out by European Commission staff and an external technical committee. The selection of three finalists per category will be done by a high-level jury.
The winners will be decided via an online public vote and announced at the Awards Ceremony, that will take place in Brussels on 20 June 2023. All finalists are invited to attend the event.
Along with being considered best-in-class for their contribution to a sustainable energy future, winners and finalists can expect to receive added visibility for their work. A professional film crew will visit the finalists to create a promotional video of their work, and their profile will be promoted on the EUSEW communication channels during the public vote, as well as being included in a press package sent to pan-EU and local media outlets.
