DaDa Fest wins prestigious prize

DaDa, the UK's largest Deaf and disability arts festival, has won this year's prestigious £10,000 Lever Prize.

The Liverpool based festival was chosen by the North West Business Leadership Team (NWBLT) comprising of senior representatives from the 30 largest companies in the North Eest of England.

Ruth Gould, the DaDa chief executive said: "We're delighted the NWBLT have acknowledged the unique work DaDaFest does in representing disability and deaf culture in the North West and internationally.

"The award and resulting creative collaborations with NWBLT members will allow us to present an even more relevant and enticing festival later this year."

This year's festival will take place from 13th July to 2nd September at venues in Liverpool and across the UK.
