# Pride of Manchester Awards

The Pride Of Manchester Awards competition is voted for annually every January in Manchester, England and was devised by the Pride Of Manchester group of entertainment websites. It celebrates the best in the city from the previous 12 months.
The competition began in 2008, with the majority of awards being decided by members' votes. The only awards not decided by the voting processing, Best Restaurant, Best Hotel, and Best Serviced Apartments were decided by the results of reviews submitted throughout the previous year by the website's readership.
