Up to 30 remarkable heritage achievements from all over Europe was awarded. Of those, 4 laureates received a Grand Prix and €10,000 each; one was granted the Public Choice Award, chosen through an online poll conducted by Europa Nostra, the leading European heritage network.

In addition, two new ILUCIDARE Special Prizes were awarded from among the submitted applications. ILUCIDARE is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme with the aim of establishing an international network promoting heritage as a resource for innovation and in international cooperation. The European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards will contribute to ILUCIDARE by identifying,promoting and facilitating the upscaling of best practices in cultural heritage-led innovation and diplomacy.

All the winners will be celebrated at the European Heritage Awards Ceremony in June 2020.
