Welcome to this year’s NextGen Heritage Entrepreneur of the Year Award!
This prize aims to reward the spirit of sustainable innovation and entrepreneurship amongst young owners of historic houses. To participate, young historic property owners (under 45 years old) must submit their project developing sustainable heritage in private ownership. These can be commercial, educational, community or large-scale restoration projects.
The competition builds on the important research project “Heritage Houses for Europe” which has been spearheaded by the European Historic Houses Association in partnership with ELO, IDEA Consult and funded by the European Parliament and the European Commission. The goal is to identify current trends and future solutions with regard to best practice in management and preservation of family-owned built heritage.
A jury will select the winner among the applications.
