LCR Culture & Creativity Awards 2023
Liverpool City Region is a thriving place for culture and creativity and we want to celebrate this.
2023 Awards

The awards are part of the Metro Mayor’s 1% for Culture initiative, and will honour the value and contribution that the cultural and creative sector brings to the Liverpool City Region.
