European Initiative Prize

The European Initiative Prize (French: Prix de l'Initiative Européenne) is a journalism prize, created in 2003 by the Maison de l’Europe de Paris and the European Press Club with the support of the European Parliament.[1] The prize is awarded annually to media contributors who distinguished themselves with high quality work on European Union topics.[1]

The award ceremony takes place every year in June at the Maison de l’Europe de Paris within the Hotel de Villiers, private mansion of the 19th century, property of the City of Paris and situated in the 17th district of Paris.

The ceremony is usually preceded by a debate on European topics. The jury – currently chaired by former MEP and Catherine Lalumière, President of the Maison de l’Europe de Paris – consists of French and European intellectuals. The Prize consists of a diploma of honour and of a piece of art, offered by the European Parliament. Usually, three "ex æquo" prizes are awarded annually.
