ESPO award nominations

The seven were chosen from 30 applications by the international jury, chaired by John Richardson, former Head of the European Commission’s Maritime Task Force. “The quality of the applications received was outstanding,” said John Richardson, “this is very encouraging and shows that more and more port authorities care about the social integration of their ports. We will now be putting a number of precise questions to these ports so that we can pass a final judgment.” The winner of the ESPO Award will be announced on 4 November during an evening ceremony at the Brussels’ Town Hall. The Award itself is designed by the Belgian artist Francois Schuiten.
