The Punt de Llibre Prize is part of the educational programme ‘El comerç i les escoles’ of Barcelona City Council, promoted by the Directorate of Commerce, Catering and Food of Barcelona City Council. The aim of the programme is to promote knowledge of Barcelona's cultural, social and historical environment by means of neighbourhood shops, and at the same time to educate for critical and responsible consumption. The Award seeks to recognise the best drawings created by students from participating schools, whose central theme is local commerce expressed through visual art. The selected drawings will be published later as a bookmark. The aim of this initiative is to show the public the vision that students have of local shops by distributing the bookmarks to all the city's shopping centres on Sant Jordi's Day. 

Any student from infant, primary and secondary schools or post-compulsory education centres in the city of Barcelona may enter. Drawings will be classified into the following eight categories: 

I. Pre-primary education 

II. Initial cycle of primary education 

III. Middle cycle of primary education 

IV. Upper cycle of primary education 

V. First and second year of secondary education 

VI. Third and fourth year of secondary education, A-levels and vocational training 

VII. Special education, Infant and primary school 

VIII. Special education, secondary and post-compulsory 

The main theme of the drawings is local commerce, explained through plastic language.

The winning drawings will be published as bookmarks and distributed to shops in Barcelona's shopping centres and associations as part of the Sant Jordi campaign. A total of 400,000 bookmarks will be published. 

The following information will appear on the bookmarks: The name of the drawing’s author, the educational institution to which they belong, and the school year they are in 

The prize-winning students receive a diploma and a gift. The educational centres with a winning drawing will receive enough bookmarks to be handed out among the pupils. The choice of winning drawings will be communicated to the teaching centres by e-mail. 

The Bookmark Award ceremony will take place in person on the days running up to Sant Jordi's Day 2026.

The submission period runs from the day after the publication of this call for applications until 31 January 2026. The original works for the bookmarks will be collected from schools by the organisers, who will contact teaching staff in advance to arrange this.
