Since 2008, the European Parliament together with the ‘Foundation of the International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen’ have each year been inviting young people from all EU Member States to submit projects run by and for youth showing an active participation in the development of Europe.

| European Charlemagne Youth Prize Competition 2019 |
Young people aged between 16 and 30 living in any EU Member State can submit projects which have shown to be promoting European and international understanding; foster the development of a shared sense of European identity and integration; and provide role models for young people living in Europe and offer practical examples of Europeans living together as one community.
The prize for the best project is €7500, the second €5000 and the third €2500. As part of the prize, the three European laureates are invited to visit the European Parliament in Brussels or Strasbourg.
One representative of each of the 28 national winners is invited to Aachen for several days to attend several events, including the Youth Prize Award Ceremony, which will take place on Tuesday 28th May, two days before the day on which the prestigious International Charlemagne Prize of Aachen is awarded.
Have a look on the competition's website to find out how to submit a project for the prize – but remember to do so before 18th February 2019.
