Your Nomination
Manchester has always been at the forefront of the UK’s live entertainment scene and is recognised across the world for its star-studded music & live events history.
Home to Take That, Oasis, The Stone Roses, the region’s industry has bounced back despite the challenges of recent years, and home to world class live event venues.
From classic to grime, baroque and rock, and world class sporting events, This Is Manchester wants to recognise excellence within the events field.
The category aims to recognise any event staged over the previous 12 months and is open to sports, entertainment, music, live events, cultural events, festival operators, exhibition organisers or one-off experiences – live, virtual and hybrid events can be nominated.
The judges will be looking for an event that captured the hearts & minds of people in the region. Judges will consider production and promotion of the event as well as reach, accessibility, safety, and community engagement, quality and innovation, as well as potential for audience participation.
Operators can enter more than one project.
