In September 2026, several regional awards were presented in the Netherlands. In Noord-Holland, the Arie Keppler Prize winners were announced, recognizing projects that improve living environments. The renovated ‘De Laat’ shopping street in Alkmaar received the ‘Exemplary Ownership’ award for its urban greening and water management efforts, while the Cruquius Museum won the Public Prize for its new pavilion architecture.

In Veldhoven, the artist collective ‘Kunst in het Rond’ was awarded the 2026 Veldhoven Culture Prize. The jury unanimously selected the group for its ability to connect professional and leisure artists with the local municipality and public through exhibitions and art markets.
