In the panel’s view, the project presented by Umeå, on which a great deal of work had been done since the pre-selection meeting, seemed well constructed and well prepared. The panel was sympathetic to its underlying deeply felt urge to make Umeå and the Northern part of Sweden more connected with and known by other parts of Europe.
For this reason, it is the panel’s unanimous recommendation that Umeå should be designated as European Capital of Culture 2014.

Only the City of Mons submitted an application for European Capital of Culture for the year 2015. After an intensive debate, the panel judged that the quality of the Mons application was strong enough on the basis of the criteria of “the European dimension” and “cities and citizens” and then decided to pre select it.

Oui, Mons semble bel et bien prédestinée au titre de Capitale euro- péenne de la culture! Son patrimoine exceptionnel, dont la naissance remonte au XIe siècle, ne cesse de charmer les visiteurs.
Ses traditions culturelles, à commencer par la reconstitution du légendaire combat opposant saint Georges et le Dragon, passionnent les Montois et fascinent les observateurs étrangers.
Ses spectacles, ses concerts et ses expositions de portée internatio- nale enchantent les publics les plus exigeants.
Quant aux scientifiques, ils trouvent à Mons le souffle de l’innova- tion et ils bénéficient, comme tous les habitants de la région, d’une qualité de vie remarquable.
Mons, de toute évidence, est prête à assumer son rôle de phare culturel européen!
