The prize highlights how cultural heritage and places of memory can enable civic participation, education and democratic engagement, reflecting the important contribution of Jewish cultural heritage to Europe’s shared history. The application period is open until 31 July 2026. Winners will be presented with awards in a ceremony in Brussels at the end of this year.
What the Simone Veil Prize is The prize promotes heritage as a positive, forward-looking force for respectful coexistence in European society. It reflects the European Union’s commitment to safeguarding cultural diversity, countering discrimination and antisemitism, and promoting shared historical perspectives.
It honours Simone Veil , French Holocaust survivor, who dedicated her life to reconciliation, passionately promoting human rights and European unity. As the first president of the European Parliament, she campaigned against antisemitism and fought for a unified Europe of shared ideals, making her a powerful symbol of the values the prize seeks to celebrate.
In her speech at the Euro-Chanukah 2025 celebration, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said: I made a promise that we would establish a prize to celebrate Jewish cultural heritage and its central role in shaping European identity. Tonight, I am glad to say that in 2026, we will announce the first winner of the Simone Veil Prize for European Jewish Cultural Heritage.
It was Veil herself who said: ‘Le judaïsme a pris plus de place pour les valeurs qu'il m'a apportées, ces valeurs de tolérance, de liberté d'esprit, de démocratie.' Tolerance, freedom of mind, and democracy. These are Jewish values.
These are European values. And we will continue working to ensure they shape our public life. The Simone Veil Prize is awarded once per year and will recognise up to 25 finalists and five Grand Prix winners in each category.
Each of the five winners will receive €10 000. The prize will recognise local and cross-border projects completed between January 2023 and January 2026 in five award categories.
