Europa Nostra, out of 14 candidates, has been selected by the European Commission - Education and Culture to continue running the EU Prize for Cultural Heritage. In the past five years, the Europa Nostra Awards were already organised in cooperation with the EU Prize under the European Commission Culture 2000 Programme. To these five years another seven may now be added under the Commission's new Culture Programme.

Europa Nostra already started organising this Awards Scheme and received entries from around Europe over the month of September. Jury meetings for each of the four Prize Categories will take place in early 2008 and the winners will be announced shortly after. The European Awards Ceremony will this year take place in Durham Cathedral, United Kingdom, on 12 June 2008.
