Every year, our partner Gráffica rewards the 10 best visual culture profiles in Spain
Gráffica is a news magazine dedicated exclusively to the world of design, specifically to graphic design, creativity, and visual culture. In addition to being partners with C! Print , they also organize the Gráffica Awards Gala , held in a different city each year. For this tenth edition, they've returned to Valencia, a landmark event, as it was there that the first award was presented 10 years ago...
The Gráffica Awards contribute to highlighting Spain's design and creative scene. There are various categories, including photography, video, graphic design, illustration, animation, comics, and even video games, motion graphics, street art, and typography.
Director Ana Gea explained that these are "broad and cross-cutting awards" that have been chosen by a jury of 20 people.
10th Edition Award Winners
This year, several profiles stood out due to their unusual presence at this Gala, such as the presence of the music group Vetusta Morla . "This award is the best example that design and visual culture are present in all spheres of society," said the co-director of the Gràffica Awards. "The award to Vetusta Morla is proof that music needs visuals to communicate," added Gea.
The presence of a video game studio has also been distinguished: Nómada Studio for the opus Gris, an award that demonstrates that video games also integrate Art.
Other award winners included: multi-award-winning Valencian cartoonist Paco Roca ; Mery Cuesta , art critic, exhibition curator, cartoonist, and drummer; Toni Segarra, Spanish publicist ; La Casa de Carlota, a design studio that works with inclusivity; designer and art director Nacho Padilla , in collaboration with Madrid City Council; Hey Studio , led by designer Verónica Fuerte, is another winner; and RUIDO Photo , a Barcelona-based organization that focuses on documentary imagery from a human rights perspective.
