About the awards
We are delighted by the success of the Manchester Culture Awards over the past five years; we knew that the city is alive with creative activity, and the brilliant nominations we receive every year prove that, without a doubt, to be the case.
What do we mean by culture?
For these awards, nominees must be involved in one or more of the following areas:
- heritage
- visual art
- music
- theatre
- performance
- dance
- film and broadcast media
- literature
- digital art
- photography or
- craft.
Nominees must be based in the city of Manchester (not Greater Manchester, but the area covered by Manchester City Council) or have a track record of delivering activity for the benefit of the people that live in or visit the city, or that benefits the local economy.
