Launch of the 2014 European Charlemagne Youth Prize
The selection procedure for next year's European Charlemagne Youth Prize is launched. The prize is awarded to young people who have been involved in projects to promote understanding between people from different European countries.
The deadline for submitting projects for the 7th consecutive European Charlemagne Youth Prize is January 20th 2014.
The Charlemagne Youth Prize, which is jointly organised by the European Parliament and the International Charlemagne Prize Foundation in Aachen, is awarded to projects undertaken by people between 16 and 30 years old. The winning projects should serve as role models for young people living in Europe and offer practical examples of Europeans living together as one community. Youth exchange programmes, artistic and Internet projects with a European dimension were amongst the projects selected in the past.
The European Charlemagne Youth Prize is your opportunity to present your idea of Europe – to make your contribution to European integration. So play your part in shaping Europe the way you want!
Winning Prize Money of €10,000
The three winning projects (chosen from 28 national winning projects from all EU Member States) will be awarded funding of €5,000, €3,000, and €2,000 respectively. In addition, they will be invited to visit the European Parliament in Brussels or Strasbourg in the autumn.
The representatives of the national winning projects will not only be invited to participate in the Charlemagne Youth Prize award ceremony on May 27th 2014, they will also be invited to attend the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen award ceremony which takes place two days later during their four-day trip to Aachen.

In 2013, Europe on Track, a Spanish youth media project, was awarded first prize. The second prize was awarded to a Polish project, Discover Europe, an exciting photo contest which unites students through their creativity and vision of Europe. The third was awarded to the Estonian Youth exchange project "The Story of my Life", a residential camp which unites people from different segments of society through dialogue.
