The jury's motivation is: Vandalorum in Värnamo has become a gathering place for art and design in three Småland counties but also on a national level. With a unique financing model, the local and regional business community has made an exceptionally high contribution to the economy and development of Vandalorum. The now completed and commissioned Stage 2 with new buildings and expanded program operations strengthens Vandalorum's role as a center for art and design. All with the aim of strengthening creativity; something that is necessary for the long-term survival of companies. Vandalorum is a clear illustration of how cooperation between culture and business strengthens both parties
