The new period for submitting co-edition projects to Barcelona City Council runs from 8 to 29 January 2024. The projects must be based on the City of Barcelona and its residents, and they must fit into the one of the ten collections approved by Barcelona City Council's Editions and Publications Board on 7 April 2021.

The selection process begins at 9 am on 8 January and closes at 2 pm on 29 January 2024. Projects must be based on the City of Barcelona and its residents and they must fit into one of the ten collections approved by the Editions and Publications Board on 7 April 2021 (see the book formats that form part of each collection). If they are not part of any of these collections, the collection from the publishing house that the edition is proposed in must be stated.

You can check the form but you will not be able, under any circumstances, to submit a project until the start date for the process.

Check the corporate criteria of Barcelona City Council’s co-edition policy and the terms and conditions of co-edition contracts in the archives concerned.

Directorate for Publishing Services

Barcelona City Council’s Directorate for Publishing Services is responsible for creating, publishing and marketing publication products under the plan approved by Barcelona City Council’s Editions and Publications Board. It performs this work through its own creations, with other municipal services, and in co-edition with the private publishing sector.

Co-editions with the private publishing sector are established to contribute towards a better use, dissemination and promotion of publications. In addition, they are used for establishing a collaboration framework with the publishing sector and providing it with support.

To ensure the transparency and objectivity of the selection system of the various co-edition publishing projects, the Directorate for Publishing Services will be carrying out a six-monthly selection process (in January and July).
