The European Parking Award has been established by the European Parking Association as a biennial award for excellence in parking. The objective of the awards is to promote qualitative improvements in public car parking both on and off street. In particular the awards seek to promote improvements in user friendliness, construction, maintenance, management, design and safety and they also promote the development of good working practices in on-street parking. A prize can be awarded in four categories: 1. New car park, 2. Any renovated car park, 3. On-street parking projects and 4. An innovative scheme in any aspect of parking. There will be an additional discretionary judges award if an entrant is considered of particular merit.
The winners were presented in a special ceremony at the 15th EPA congress in Turin, Italy on September 15, 2011.
