About the awards

We are delighted by the success of the Manchester Culture Awards over the past four 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?

  • 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.
