ABOUT
The Innovation in Politics Awards 2020
The Innovation in Politics Awards honour the most courageous and creative political projects in Europe, based on our core European values: democracy, human rights and social balance. Since 2017, a total of more than 4,000 European citizens have selected 289 finalists and 33 winners out of 1,500 submitted projects from all over Europe.
This year’s projects prove that politicians faced the crisis head-on and we feel privileged and proud to make them visible. Find out more about how we celebrated the 2020 Awards without an actual celebration in our article.
