Schwarzkopf Europe Award, 2019
In June 2019 New Europeans received the Europe Award of the Schwarzkopf Foundation at a ceremony in Berlin. It was presented by former European Parliament President Martin Schulz. Young Europeans aged 18 to 35 voted for the winner in an online poll. 

Financial Times Future of Britain Award, 2017
In the Financial Times’ Future of Britain competition, our founder won with an essay on how to secure the rights of citizens caught up in Brexit. The essay set out the idea of a Green Card for EU citizens in the UK and Britons in Europe. That proposal went on to become one of our best-known campaigns.

The Sheila McKechnie Foundation celebrates the UK’s most effective campaigners. In 2017 the public voted New Europeans the winner of its People’s Choice Award, for our campaign to guarantee the rights of EU citizens in the UK and of UK citizens in the EU after the Brexit referendum.
