Spain deadline approaches for Youth Cultural Voucher applications
The application period for the 2026 Youth Cultural Voucher (Bono Cultural Joven) is set to end on October 31 at 23:59 Spanish peninsular time. The program is available to young people born in 2008 who are turning 18 this year and meet specific nationality or residency requirements in Spain.
Beneficiaries receive 400 euros to support cultural engagement. Under the ‘Descubre Cultura’ modality, funds can be split between performing arts, audiovisuals, and heritage (up to 200 euros), physical products like books and video games (up to 100 euros), and digital consumption such as streaming subscriptions and e-books (up to 100 euros).
A new ‘Crea Cultura’ modality allows recipients to use the full 400 euros for cultural courses, workshops, musical instruments, and artistic materials. Applications must be submitted exclusively through the official government website.
