6th International Award UCLG – Mexico City – Culture 21

The City of Mexico and the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) are calling for applications from cities and individuals for the 6th International Award UCLG – Mexico City – Culture 21. This edition recognises cities and personalities who have excelled in the promotion of cultural rights for local sustainable development.

The Award highlights the leadership of cities in the promotion of cultural rights as a transversal driver of local sustainable development, highlighting the diversity and excellence of policies and actions of local governments from all over the world. This shows that there is no single model of development, and that each project and policy is inscribed in specific and different local contexts, and constitute unique and original proposals.

City, local or regional government category

  • One (or two) winning city(ies) of the Award.
  • Cities with a “Special Mention of the Jury”.
  • The recognition as “good practices” of the initiatives that the Jury deems to meet the requirements, giving visibility to a wide variety of initiatives from all corners of the world, which constitute exemplary practices for the promotion of cultural rights for local sustainable development.

Individual category

  • One or two personalities who have made a fundamental contribution to cultural rights and to the relationship between culture and local sustainable development.

Applications for Phase 1 will be received until 16 February 2024. The applications that move on to Phase 2 will be received between 1 March and 3 April 2024. The nominations will be received between 29 November 2023 and 3 April 2024. The final results will be announced in May 2024.
