Quebec City was named Cultural City of the Year at the Leading Culture Destination Awards, whatever that is. Los Angeles and Lyon were the other two cities vying for the title. The title obviously doesn't mean much since this seems like another one of those 'rank this city' type of award. However, it is still interesting to note that Quebec City did not even put its name forward for the candidacy. It was all initiated by cultural ambassadors from all over the world. Anyways, it is what it is and as the saying goes: any publicity is good publicity.
