The fifth edition of the awards will be open to all entities based in Europe, including schools and universities, NGOs, national and regional authorities, companies and associations.

Eligible projects, initiatives or campaigns will be evaluated based on the following criteria: relevance and originality, achievements, possibility to reproduce the project and cost effectiveness.

An independent jury will judge the entries in each category, with representatives from the European institutions as well as civil organisations and NGOs. The initiatives may be ongoing or completed, but they must not have started before January 2013. All entries must be submitted by Friday 26 June 2015 before midday Brussels time.

The awards will identify projects, initiatives and campaigns that contribute to Europe's sustainability through activities supporting paper recycling. Winners will be announced at the official awards ceremony taking place at the European Parliament on October 14^th, 2015.
