Skövde Citysamverkan to Award New Cultural Prize at Culture and Sports Festival

Skövde Citysamverkan has established a cultural prize that will be awarded on February 8, 2025, during Skövde’s first Culture and Sports Festival. The festival is a brand new initiative aimed at creating a unique meeting place for Skövde’s local associations and organizations, focusing on culture and sports.

About the Cultural Prize

During the festival, Skövde Citysamverkan will present its new cultural prize to a local association, organization, or company in Skövde municipality that contributes to a vibrant city center through culture. The prize aims to recognize actors who create conditions for a rich cultural life, including areas such as:

• Dance
• Games
• Art
• Music
• Theater
• Literature
• Photography

Prize Motivation

Emma Edqvist, destination developer for Skövde Citysamverkan/Next Skövde, explains the reasoning behind the prize:

“Culture plays a crucial role in a vibrant city center. Statistics show that turnover increases in city centers with various cultural initiatives, and we also see that our visitor flows increase during different cultural events in Skövde. Highlighting cultural initiatives in the city center felt obvious to us, and we hope many will nominate a company, association, or organization that has done something extra during the year, whether small or large.”

Nomination Details

The deadline for nominations for the Skövde Citysamverkan Cultural Prize is January 14. The winner will be selected by the steering group of Skövde Citysamverkan.
