Voting Prizes and Vienna Jury Prizes: A total of 60 Cycling Visionaries
The great public interest in the Cycling Visionaries Awards and the help of the Award sponsors made it possible to support a total of 60 beneficiaries to be selected as Cycling Visionaries:
- Thirty “Voting Prizes”, decided during the public online voting between 1 and 15 April 2013.
- Thirty “Vienna Jury Prizes”, allocated by the Velo-city 2013 Management Team acting as a jury.
Beneficiaries of the Cycling Visionaries Awards won a free participation in the foremost global venue on urban cycling, the Velo-city conference, held in Vienna, Austria, in June 2013. During Velo-city, Cycling Visionaries met leading voices of the global cycling community and participated as delegates in Velo-city 2013 to expand the scope of their work. The awarded projects, ideas and visions have been published in Velo-city 2013 conference publications.
