#EuropaSeSiente Project Competition
The General Secretariat for European Funds at the Spanish Ministry of Finance has just launched the call for entries for a new edition of the #EuropaSeSiente Project Competition. This competition, which has established itself as the ‘Oscars’ of European funds in Spain, aims once again this year to raise visibility and increase public awareness of the results and added value of European funding in Spain.
These awards are the best opportunity to highlight projects that transform neighbourhoods, change lives and demonstrate that Europe is felt in every corner of our country.

The public will vote to select the three finalists in each category.
The outcome at the Annual Ceremony will combine the judgement of a technical jury (60%) with the live public vote (40%) to select the winners in each category.
For the first time, two top awards will be presented: the Jury’s Golden Star and the Audience’s Golden Star, thereby increasing the recognition and visibility of our best projects.
Calendar and key dates:
- Until 12 June: Deadline for submitting entries via the official form.
- 29 June: Official announcement of the semi-finalist projects.
- Until 31 July: Deadline for semi-finalists to submit their 3-minute short videos.
- Second half of September: Online semi-finals and public vote.
- November: Grand final as part of the 2026 Annual Event
