    WE'RE ON THE #EUROVISION SHORTLIST 💥 We stand ready and able to host @Eurovision and put on a dazzling show with our Ukrainian family in 2023. Here's what our Chair @GabbyLogan had to say 👇
     
Text layered over a pastel green background. There is a pink border with yellow and pink ribbon cutting through it. There is a LEEDS 2023 Year of Culture logo with the text “Supported by Leeds City Council”.
 
The main text reads “"Leeds is already dusting down its sequins in preparation for LEEDS 2023, our year-long celebration of culture, so we'd be honoured to host Eurovision during our special year. We are a city that has for centuries welcomed people from all over the globe with open arms; and in a region with one of the largest Ukrainian populations in the UK outside of London, the city stands ready and able to put on a dazzling show with our Ukrainian family. Together we will sing our hearts out and dance in the streets of Leeds and invite the world to join in! Gabby Logan. Chair of LEEDS 2023”
