Who won in 2013?
The first prize went to the Spanish website project "Europe on track", represented by Luis Alvarado Martínez and Kathrin Renner: "We tried to bring Europe to students, interviewing them about how they see Europe in 2020."
The Polish "Discover Europe" photo contest project picked up the second prize. "By showing pictures of Europe, we enable people to see it in a new light," said Katarzyna Siennicka.
The third prize was given to the Estonian exchange project "Story of my life", which aims to forge closer links between young Europeans and elderly Estonians.
Getting your message across
The winners praised the prize for highlighting projects that promote Europe. Mr Martínez said: "This prize is the occasion to bring a fresh and positive message about Europe." Anne-May Kaldoja, a represenative of the "Story of My Life" added: "It shows that Europe is not only about big countries."
A stepping stone to the future
Both "Europe on track" and "Discover Europe" are now working on documentaries.
