Call for proposals: Design and production of Bridges of Trust Award Trophies 2026
CEMR is launching a call for proposals for the design and production of the Bridges of Trust Partnerships Award 2026 trophies.
The Bridges of Trust community brings together Ukrainian towns and cities and their European counterparts, fostering cooperation, resilience, recovery, decentralisation and mutual learning. The Bridges of Trust Partnerships Award 2026 will recognise outstanding municipal partnerships and celebrate their contribution to Ukraine’s European integration journey.
To mark these achievements, CEMR will award five municipal partnerships as Bridges of Trust Ambassadors 2026 and is looking for a creative professional or organisation to design and produce the trophies presented during the award ceremony.

- Artists
- Designers

The selected contractor will design and produce ten trophies (two per awarded partnership), inspired by the Bridges of Trust identity and symbolising the connection between partner municipalities.
The trophies should visually reflect the values of Partnership, European Ukrainian cooperation, solidarity and trust, and resilience and reconstruction.
