The SoilTribes project has won the 2026 .eu Web Award in the Sustainability Champion category, recognizing its website, soiltribes.eu, as an outstanding example of how digital communication can support sustainability, knowledge sharing, and community engagement.
Organized by EURid, the .eu Web Awards celebrate outstanding websites using the .eu domain. Following the jury evaluation and public voting process, SoilTribes secured the Sustainability Champion title with 7,827 public votes and a perfect combined score of 10 out of 10.
The award marks an important milestone for SoilTribes, a Horizon Europe project contributing to the EU Mission: A Soil Deal for Europe. It recognizes the project’s efforts to make soil-related knowledge accessible, connect diverse communities, and encourage collective action towards healthier soils.
The award-winning website was developed by Youthmakers Hub, the SoilTribes Consortium partner responsible for Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation.
Designed as the project’s central digital hub, the platform connects citizens, researchers, policymakers, businesses, and organizations with SoilTribes activities, educational resources, opportunities, and community initiatives.
Through accessible design, intuitive navigation, and engaging content, the website helps translate soil-related knowledge into information that encourages public participation and environmental awareness.
The award reflects the collective efforts of the 25 SoilTribes partners across 11 EU countries, as well as the support of everyone who participated in the public voting campaign.
SoilTribes extends its gratitude to everyone who voted and supported the campaign, and to EURid for recognizing digital initiatives that contribute to a more sustainable future.
