Drop off your Leeds 2023 artwork at these West Leeds locations

By Louis Chapman-Coombe

Three West Leeds venues have been named as drop off locations for artwork to enter the tickets ballot for the opening event of Leeds 2023 year of culture.

The only way to enter the ballot for tickets to ‘The Awakening’ event at Headingley Stadium is via donation of a piece of art.

Leeds 2023 say that “anything goes in terms of the art that can be sent in to enter the ballot. Organisers are looking for a wide variety of submissions – it can be a doodle or dance, a cake or comic, a painting or poem – however anyone gets their creative kicks can be uploaded as photos, audio or videos to www.leeds2023.co.uk”.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, 25 November 2022. 

Several locations across the city, three of which are in West Leeds, have been turned into designated drop off points for submissions.
