The Delta Cultura Awards, which focus on projects that contribute to the dissemination of and reflection on design, are celebrating their tenth anniversary this year, having established themselves as a space for highlighting initiatives that expand the field of design beyond the product.
In this edition, the call for entries attracted 60 projects across the categories of events and publications, reflecting the diversity of formats through which design culture is built and communicated. From among these, the jury selected 16 projects, which now form part of the Delta Cultura 2026 Selection.
The jury was composed of Laura Clèries, Beth Galí, Raquel Pelta, Javier Peña, and Bernat Puigdollers.
The selected projects highlight the role of design as a tool for thought and cultural mediation, with proposals that approach the discipline through research, outreach, and the generation of discourse.
