The Barcelona Commerce Prize
Barcelona is a dynamic, creative and open city, recognised throughout Europe for its wide-ranging cultural and business offering. This includes its commerce and associations, which represent a source of wealth and are a vital part of the city‘s life. Year after year, Barcelona‘s commerce shows it to be one of our city‘s key stakeholders, by providing cohesion for the city‘s neighbourhoods, attending to the needs of local residents and increasing its presence in the digital world.
Barcelona City Council‘s Directorate of Commerce, Catering and Consumption wishes to recognise our retailers’ contribution to the city. It is thus organising the 24th edition of the Barcelona Commerce Prize, combined with the Barcelona Markets Prize. There are six categories in the awards.
Prizes for all types of commerce, because in Barcelona there is a bit of everything

The 25th Barcelona Commerce Award has arrived
