The award rewards cities that have made particular efforts to be accessible and inclusive for persons with disabilities.

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive prizes of €150,000, €120,000 and €80,000 respectively.

Because 2021 is the European Year of Rail, the Commission will give a special mention to a city that has made outstanding efforts to make its train stations accessible for all.

Last year’s winner of the Access City Award was Jönköping in Sweden.
