ALL ECC AWARDS
THE EUROPEAN CULTURAL CENTRE AWARD
Since 2010 this prize is awarded by the European Cultural Centre and named the ECC Award. The ECC will give this Award each year to an artist, architect, designer who is dedicated to his or her concept over a longer period of time and whereby this concept and the execution thereof is in our opinion of significant meaning. The ECC has also established an Award for Institutions which do their utmost best to promote the research and work acheived by their students.
