European Commission launches 5th Access City Award competition

EU cities are invited to participate in the fifth edition of the Access City Award - The European Prize for making cities more accessible to people with disabilities and older people. The European Commission continues to encourage cities with over 50 000 inhabitants from all Member States to present their activities and strategies designed to make cities barrier-free, better places to live for everyone. It is an opportunity for EU cities to showcase and share their work and plans on accessibility.

The selection process has two stages: first at national level and then followed by the European selection.

Deadline: 10 September 2014, midnight Brussels time
