Culture & Creativity Awards 2020

We know what a challenging time it is, but we still have a huge amount of culture and creativity to celebrate in the city region. Liverpool City Region want to recognise and celebrate all that has been achieved through such a challenging period.

Nominations can include an individual, organisation, business, group or partnership, that has demonstrated outstanding creative achievement through cultural activity over the last year. This is not just restricted to professionals and can involve volunteers and community activity too. Don’t forget you can also nominate yourself or your organisation!

COVID-19 continues to have a massive impact on the cultural and creative sector, despite this, people have found new and innovative ways to be creative, so we are introducing two new categories this year to recognise these special contributions.

Help us reveal 2020’s cultural and creative heroes, and recognise the fantastic work that is making such a difference to people’s lives. Visit the LCR website to read about the award categories and to nominate. Nominations close on Friday 13 November.
