The Manchester Culture Awards are officially back for another year, celebrating the city’s incredible talent, creativity and culture.
The annual awards launched in 2018 and seek to showcase the city's reputation for culture and the arts - from grassroots to international - and serve as an opportunity to recognise and showcase the very best creative heroes right here in Manchester.
Nominations for this year's awards opened at the end of May, with winners across twelve different categories including Best Event, Best Performance, and Young Creative of the Year.
Other awards touch on important themes such as health and well-being, the environment and social justice.
