<p>Stoke-on-Trent's bid to be UK City of Culture 2021 was assessed by an independent
judging panel, chaired by Phil Redmond, along with the ten other bids to host the
title. The bid was assessed as strong and was shortlisted on that basis. The panel
reconvened on 6-7 December 2017 for the final stage of the selection process and recommended
that Coventry should be awarded the title of UK City of Culture 2021. The unsuccessful
bid teams will receive detailed feedback on their bids to help inform and shape their
future cultural plans.</p>
