We’re chuffed to bits to be shortlisted for the 2021 Creative Lives Awards for our lockdown variety shows.

These shows were specifically for care homes and isolated people to join in, with a bit of a singalong.

The project was funded by Arts Council England and led by our friends and collaborators the Yoko Mainwaring Experience.

A total of 31 creative groups have been shortlisted for the 2021 Creative Lives Awards, including GNUF. A winner will be chosen from England, Ireland/N.Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and all groups are looking for the public to vote for them to win the People’s Choice Award.

Voting is now open for the People’s Choice Award. Members of the public can visit the Creative Lives website to read about the shortlisted projects and choose their favourite between now and 31 January 2022.

Winners will be announced at the Creative Lives Awards ceremony in Coventry in early March 2022, as part of the city’s UK City of Culture celebrations. Winners will receive an award, framed certificate, cash prize and free access to all of Creative Lives’ future ‘Creative Learning’ online training sessions, which would be so beneficial for TeamGNUF.
