Votes can be cast online at www.liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk/peoples-choice-2020/ people can vote for more than one of the six finalists but cannot send multiple votes from one email address. The vote closes at 5pm on 26 January 2021 when the results will be totted up and the winner announced at a digital ceremony on Friday 19th February.

Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region Steve Rotheram said:

“Our Culture and Creative Arts sector are central to who we are as a City Region. We’ve missed it so much and we know how hard the sector has been hit by this pandemic.

“Whilst we have been able to give some support, so many arts organisations have had to adapt to survive the past year. Now, as the vaccine hopefully comes on stream, I know the sector will play a key role in our economic recovery.

“Good luck to all of the People’s Choice nominees, everyone has worked incredibly hard in tough circumstances and any one of you would be a worthy winner.”

This year’s awards cover arts and cultural events, innovation and creative activity that has taken place within the Liverpool City Region during the period 1st April 2019 to 12th November 2020 which included activity which specifically took place during the first lockdown.

Across all categories, 45 finalists have been whittled down from more than 700 nominations from across the whole of the city region this year, in a huge show of support for the cultural sector which has suffered a massive impact in the face of Covid-19.

They were chosen by a judging panel led by Chairs of the Culture Partnership, Phil Redmond and Maggie O’ Carroll who have also decided on the beneficiary of this year’s Inspiration Award for Lifetime Achievement, but it’s now down to the public to declare the People’s Choice.

Councillor Ian Maher, The Portfolio Holder for Culture, Tourism and The Visitor Economy at the Combined Authority and Leader of Sefton Council said:

“Covid-19 has meant an incredibly difficult year for the cultural and creative sector and these awards recognise the hard work of everyone whether that’s within traditional setting or across our communities in the Liverpool City Region. I’d like to encourage everyone to vote in the People’s Choice category and wish all of the finalists good luck.”

All entrants must live, study and/or work in the Liverpool City Region (e.g. Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral) or have created work/projects that significantly benefit the residents or visitors to the Liverpool City Region and/or has positively contributed to the development of the local economy.
