It's all about impact: launch of European Social Innovation Competition Impact Prize 2021

The European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) just launched the European Social Innovation Competition Impact Prize 2021.

Sponsored by the European Innovation Council, the €50,000 prize, is an ideas competition with impact at its heart. It is open to all 30 semi-finalists from last year’s Competition, and will be awarded to the project judged to have delivered the most significant social impact over the past 12 months.

To enter the Impact Prize, semi-finalists from the 2020 edition of the European Social Innovation Competition have been invited to complete an Impact Report, which will outline their progress and impact methodology, enabling the jury to analyse their impact and
results.

The Impact Prize is open for applications from today, 21 June, with a deadline for applications on 6 August at 12pm CEST (noon). Throughout the entry period, participants will receive support in writing their Impact Reports with specific Impact and Impact
Measurement webinars.
