The #BeActive Awards were created to support projects and individuals that are dedicated to promoting sport and physical activity across Europe.
The awards have 4 categories. Commissioner Gabriel will award the winners for each of the prize categories.
The finalists have been chosen for the eight edition of the #BeActive Awards ceremony, which will take place in Brussels on 28 November, 2022.
With no less than 62 projects submitted to the competition, a dedicated High-Level Jury evaluated the projects in order to select the best.
Twelve finalists have been announced to compete for the grand prize in each category. Each finalist will receive €2 500, while each of the three first-place winners will receive €10 000.
