Winners Weekend 2026 · Barcelona
This February, the AI Design Awards community came together from all over the world in person for two unforgettable days in Barcelona, one of Europe’s most vibrant art cities.
During the Winners Exhibition Opening and AI Artist Spotlight Sessions, creators shared their work, creative processes, and ideas, sparking lively conversations, reunions with old friends, and thoughtful Q&A moments throughout the weekend.
The celebration continued at the Winners Gala Night, where trophies, medals, and certificates were presented on stage, smiles were everywhere, and new friendships were formed.
It was a powerful reminder of what happens when a global creative community steps out from behind the screen and connects in real life.
