Outstanding achievements, innovation and creativity in expanding the use of renewable energy will be recognised with the annual EUROSOLAR European Solar Prizes 2009.
Established in 1994 the European Solar Prizes have since been given for outstanding projects and individual achievements in making an exemplary contribution to the use of renewable energy. To cover the broad effects and diversity of renewable energy application, the prizes are presented in several categories:
- Towns/municipalities, council districts, municipal utilities
- Industrial and commercial companies or farmers
- Owners or users of installations utilising renewable energy
- Local or regional associations promoting renewable energy projects
- Solar architecture and urban planning
- Media
- Transport systems with renewable energy
- Education and vocational training
- One-world cooperation
- Special achievement prize for outstanding individual commitment
For the European Solar Prizes the judging panel will not only assess the applications received directly, but also the proposals by the EUROSOLAR section members, which have been entered and rewarded at the national levels. The winners of the European Solar Prizes will then be selected from all applications.
EUROSOLAR accepts applications and proposals until 31st July 2009.
