The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels
We are delighted that The Parliament MEP Awards 2025 ceremony will be held at the prestigious Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
For many MEPs, particularly those new to Brussels, this venue will provide a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in Belgium’s rich artistic heritage—a luxury often missed due to their demanding schedules.

Our thanks to our host for the evening Quaestor Marc Angel (S&D, Luxembourg) and to Mariam Zaidi for being our master of ceremonies.
We would also like to extend our thanks to our distinguished judges who had the unenviable task of deciding the winners.
We thank all those people across the EU who took time to nominate someone for an award. Without whose nominations the awards would not be possible.

We would like to give special thanks to every MEP, APA and Parliamentary staffer, whether or not they were nominated, shortlisted or were a winner, for their dedication, hard work and support of European democracy. Thank you!
