Young people born in 2005 will be able to apply for the Youth Cultural Bonus

People born in 2005 can apply for the Youth Cultural Bonus of 400 euro that they can use to purchase and enjoy cultural products, services, and activities.

To apply, young people who have turned or will turn 18 in 2023 must register and complete the application procedure on the website www.bonoculturajoven.gob.es, which opened on Tuesday and will remain open until 30 September.

It will be essential that those interested obtain one of these three forms of digital identification: Cl@ve with basic registration (which can be requested and obtained by video call), Cl@ve with advanced registration (in person and for those who do not are still 18 years old) or the digital Certificate. Young people interested in applying for the Youth Cultural Voucher can carry out the process personally or through the representation of an adult, for which it is necessary to attach the downloadable representation form on the website, correctly signed by the beneficiary and representative. In these cases, the family book is not a document accrediting the representation.

18-year-olds born in Spain are entitled to the program, as well as those who have legal residence, asylum seekers, temporarily displaced persons or former guardians. According to data from the National Statistics Institute, there are some 500,000 potential beneficiaries throughout the country.

About the Youth Cultural Bonus

From the granting of the aid, young people have one year to use the 400 euro in cultural products or services in participating establishments, which already exceed 3,000 throughout Spain. The Youth Cultural Bonus works with a prepaid card that the beneficiary can have virtually on a mobile or receive physically at home. With this card you can enjoy experiences and cultural products, which are divided into three sections to promote investment diversification, with the following distribution:

100 euro for physical products, for example, books, press or records.

100 euro for digital products, such as digital press, podcasts or online video games.

200 euro for performing arts: theatre, opera, cinema, dance, museums or bullfighting.

The objective of the Ministry of Culture and Sports with this initiative has a double meaning: on the one hand, it shows the interest of a broad spectrum of the young Spanish population in culture, which this initiative helps to retain as a public and cultural consumer facing the future; and, on the other hand, it offers additional support to the cultural sector to recover from the crisis.
