- The jury awarded the first prize in the Architecture category to the project 'Multipurpose Learning Pavilion Gavina School' by Carmen Martínez Gregori, Carmel Gradolo Martínez and Arturo Sanz Martínez for its simple and efficient architecture. "The integration of the ceramic material is highly valued as it solves the problems regarding acoustic conditioning and light control. The way the material is employed solves the relationship between the interior space and the environment."
A special mention was also awarded to the 'Parking Building Saint Roch' by Archikubik (Miquel Lacasta, Marc Chalamanch, Carmen Santana). The jury considers the intervention is characterized by "the singular and systematic use of ceramics as a visual and solar filter. The solution provides unity to the multi-purpose building."
- In the Interior Design category, the first prize went to the 'Blue Wave Cocktail Bar' by El Equipo Creativo. The jury praised "the work for its interesting technical and functional exploration and application of ceramic material. The intervention successfully achieved a festive and unique expression which suits its function".
The special mentions were granted to the 'Disfrutar Restaurant' by El Equipo Creativo, "an interesting research work regarding ceramic and its various applications", and 'L'Atic Vernacle' by El Fabricante de Espheras, for its "simplicity and austerity in the choice of materials, creating however a pleasant environment for life".
- The winner of the Thesis Awards was Laura Alonso Blasco for her project 'Transhumant Rehabilitation'. The jury considers it shows a "deep knowledge of the material and understanding of the technique and experimental treatment of ceramics. The development of the work and processes proposed were especially valued for their resulting aesthetic effects and comprehensive usefulness". Three special mentions were given to the Archaeological Centre in La Alhambra by Agustín Gor Gómez, A Rehabilitation Tale by Jorge Borondo Pérez-Gómez and a Beach Promenade in Mataró by Héctor Durán Sánchez.
