The Manchester Culture Awards are back for 2023 with nominations now open as the city gears up to celebrate the very best in culture, arts and creativity in the city.
Last year the competition to win one of the coveted awards was fiercer than ever, with 466 nominations across 12 different categories - the highest number of nominations received since the awards began. The Manchester Culture Awards were launched in 2018 to acknowledge the city's rapidly growing reputation for culture and the arts - from grassroots to international.
Nominations opened this week with awards spread across twelve different categories including Best Event, Best Performance, and Young Creative of the Year, as well as other categories that shine a spotlight on some of the important themes of our times such as health and well-being, the environment and social justice.
