APA Awards 2027

- Must be a current APA in the European Parliament
- Selection is based on nominee’s nationality, not the MEP’s they work with.
- Dual EU nationals may choose either nationality - Non-EU nationals may be considered; if over three are nominated, a 28th category for non-EU will be created.

All nominations will be reviewed and judged by The Parliament – together with APAs turned MEPs and/or other experts.

Trust in the integrity of the awards comes from transparency in the nomination and judging process. Importantly, sponsorship and judging of the awards are kept very separate with sponsors taking no active part in the judging process. 

- Dedication and effectiveness in parliamentary work.
- Innovation in policy or administration.
- Contributions to the APA community and Parliament.

All winners will be revealed at the awards night.

Nominations are open from Tuesday, 30th June 2026 until 11:59 PM CET on Wednesday, 14th October 2026 to complete and submit all entries.

You are welcome to nominate as many candidates as you wish, whether they are from the same Member State or from different countries.

Kindly note that multiple nominations for the same person will not impact the evaluation. Each submission will be reviewed based solely on the candidate's merits.
