The objective of the RegioStars Awards is to identify good practices in regional development and to highlight original and innovative projects which could be attractive and inspiring to other regions.

As in previous years, this edition of the RegioStars Awards will be putting the spotlight on the most inspiring and innovative European projects co-funded by the EU's Cohesion policy.

After being selected by an independent jury, project managers and representatives of the Managing Authorities of finalist projects will be invited to attend the RegioStars 2015 Awards Ceremony, which will take place during the 2015 Week of European Regions and Cities (OPEN DAYS).

A trophy and a "RegioStars Winner certificate" will be presented to the winning projects by EU Commissioner for Regional Policy, Corina Creţu and the President of the RegioStars Awards jury. A short video is also produced on each winning project, which can be used for promotional purposes.

The Award Categories for 2015 are:

  1. SMART GROWTH: Unleashing SME growth potential for a digital economy
  2. SUSTAINABLE GROWTH: Mobilizing investments in energy efficiency for the benefit of citizens and society
  3. INCLUSIVE GROWTH: Integrating in society those at risk of social exclusion
  4. CITYSTAR: Transforming cities for future challenges

Application forms can be filled in English, French or German. Applications should be sent by 15 March 2015 by the regional or local Managing Authority, or with the endorsement of this Managing Authority.
