The European Ombudsman will open nominations for the fifth edition of the Award for Good Administration this October. The Award ceremony will take place in 2026.

The Award recognises actions by the EU public administration that have a visible and direct positive impact on the lives of citizens. In addition to an overall award winner, a number of category winners are also selected.

The Award will be open to any EU project and any team in any EU institution, agency, or body. Nominations can be made by EU staff, citizens, businesses, associations, and civil society groups.

The overall winner of the last edition of the award in 2023 was Eurojust and the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court for helping civil society to document war crimes and crimes against humanity.
