Funded by Creative Europe, the EUmies Awards Young Talent 2025 aims to support the talent of recently graduated architects, urban planners and landscape architects, who will be responsible for transforming our environment in the future.

The award focuses on qualifying master’s degrees in architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning which include a design proposal. 

While most projects will not be built, they nevertheless require all the skills that the students have learned during their training: art, history, aesthetics, technology, science, among others.

The awards are open to all qualifying master’s degree projects completed and approved in architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning schools from countries participating in the Creative Europe Programme, developed between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2024.
