Best of Manchester Awards 2008 exhibition
The city's cutting-edge creatives go on show
The cream of Manchester's creative crop feature in this exhibition of the 2008 awards. Judged by a panel of high-falutin’ experts that includes Miranda Sawyer, Caroline Elleray (Head of A&R at Universal Music Publishing) and the Observer Music Monthly’s Luke Bainbridge, the whole shebang is overseen by none other than Manchester’s creative director, Peter Saville. Best of all, the entry categories are completely open – perfect for rule-breakers and designed to encourage those whose work resists conventional labelling.
The Best of Manchester Awards 2008 Urbis, Cathedral Gardens, M4 3BG (605 8200/www.urbis.org.uk). Exhibition runs Aug 8-Sept 28.
