Vilnius Is My City Awards 2026

The Vilnius Is My City Awards are the city’s way of thanking those Vilnius residents who not only came here from abroad and successfully settled in, but who, through their work and talent, have made our city even more renowned, more diverse, and richer.

 

Let us thank them, recognize their contribution. Vilnius is not shaped by nationality or place of birth. Vilnius is shaped by the people who have chosen this city.
