The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 team has been honoured with the first-ever Liverpool UNESCO City of Music Award.
The Eurovision host broadcaster, the BBC, and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) received the award for their contribution to the city region’s music sector during the Eurovision period.
This year's Eurovision has been hailed as one of the biggest ever in terms of production, backed by a staggering community effort which saw the first-ever EuroFestival take place. Martin Österdahl, the contest's directing supervisor, also gushed that this year has set a new precedent for the contest's potential.
