The European Commission has called for entries to the European Award for Accessible Cities to be nominated. The award recognises good practice in access for disabled people, and is divided into four main categories:
•    the built environment and public spaces
•    transport and related infrastructures
•    information and communication, including Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
•    public facilities and services

An award ceremony will take place in Brussels on 2 and 3 December 2010 at the European Day of People with Disabilities conference. The winner will feature prominently in activities to promote accessibility at European level during 2011. In addition, a special European Champion for Accessible Cities award will be made to recognise the work of a network of cities or initiatives.
