The Awards are open to towns and cities: the European Green Capital Award is open to cities with over 100 000 inhabitants, while the European Green Leaf Award is open to all towns and cities with 20 000 to 99 999 inhabitants.

Conceived to promote and reward EU cities’ commitment to sustainability, this competition aims at recognizing cities’ initiatives and ambition to make significant changes.
