The team behind Liverpool's Eurovision Song Contest are to be honoured with the first-ever Liverpool UNESCO City of Music Award.
The Eurovision Song Contest host broadcaster, the BBC, and event owners and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), will receive the award. It will act as an annual recognition for individuals or organisations who make an outstanding contribution to the city region’s music sector and further develop Liverpool’s UNESCO City of Music credentials.
A ceremony will take place on Wednesday, June 14, at Liverpool Town Hall where the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Mary Rasmussen, will join Cabinet Member for Culture, Councillor Harry Doyle and Director of Culture Liverpool Claire McColgan, in presenting this new honour to those who headed up the event.
