About the EVawards
Choosing the nominees
European Voice senior editors, together with a strategically-selected panel of advisors drawn from the European Union community, collectively draw up the list of the people to be honoured. Those nominated include commissioners, MEPs, heads of state, politicians, EU fonctionnaires, representatives of businesses and NGOs, campaigners - and, very importantly, European citizens. We are delighted that Yves Leterme, the prime minister of Belgium, is the patron of the EV awards.
Commemorative magazine
European Voice produces a special commemorative magazine, called 'Presenting the Europeans of the Year', distributed together with the newspaper and delivered to our readers and at the gala evening itself. The magazine features photographs of the nominees, together with short personal profiles and the reasons they were chosen.
Gala evening
The Europeans of the year gala awards evening has become a feature of the EU-affairs calendar. This year it was held at the Brussels Stock Exchange (Bourse de Bruxelles) on Tuesday, 2 December. During the black-tie evening, acknowledgement will be paid to all of the nominess and the results of the public vote were announced.
Europeans of the Year Awards
Out of the nominees, six were chosen via a public vote (both online and by completing a ballot form in the newspaper) to receive the Europeans of the Year Award for each category.
