European Sustainable Heritage Award application

Airbnb is once again collaborating with European Historic Houses to give its members the opportunity to win an award of up to EUR 20,000! If you are a member of a national association part of EHH and have a sustainability project, developed and finished by 2023, you can be a candidate, don't miss out!
Please, check the booklet to make sure that you fulfill all the criteria. However, in general, the candidates should meet the following requirements:

- The winner of the European Sustainable Heritage Award will have carried out a renovation / improvement project, at a cost of min. EUR 20,000, which was completed by 20 October 2023.

- We will reward projects encapsulating heritage owners' efforts to improve sustainability outcomes while performing their key role as custodians of European heritage.

- The project will have taken place in a heritage property, as defined by the membership criteria of the EHH member organisation to which the applicant belongs.

- The project will have achieved, either through renovation or alteration of the property, measurable impacts across one or more of the following five criteria:

· Energy (e.g. installation of heat pump technology, improvements in insulation, use of energy saving switches…)

· Waste (e.g. safe handling/disposal of hazardous waste)

· Water (e.g. installation of water-efficient showers/toilets/faucets, (re-)use of rainwater, drought-tolerant landscaping)

· Biodiversity and Ecosystems (e.g. greening of rooftops and other spaces, replacement of native species)

· Destination and Community (e.g. investment in local sustainability projects)

- Successful applications must also describe activities through which the candidate opens their heritage property up to local residents and tourists e.g. through hosting guests, collaboration with local communities/businesses, promotion of the property as a heritage good, etc.

Please note that this is not a funding opportunity, but rather a way to award already finalised projects.
