Research into cultural studies can be presented for this award promoted by FiraTàrrega and Ros Roca and with a prize of €6,000

The works presented must be studies that refer to the analysis or research in the field of cultural management, such as case studies, impact on the territory, comparative studies, cooperation, cultural policies, analysis of organisations, typologies of professionals and audiences, R+D, sponsorship and patronage, etc.

This award, the only one of its kind in Catalonia, has a prize of €6,000 and a commemorative sculpture by the artist Antoni Boleda. Note that it is one of the largest prizes in this field in Europe.
