OPENCities Soundtrack For Cardiff is a British Council competition in partnership with Cardiff City Council and MAGIX and supported by Red Dragon FM.

What is OPENCities?
Cardiff is one of 8 European cities that are participating in the British Council’s OPENCities programme, which aims to show how multicultural cities are successful cities.

Council Leader Cllr Rodney Berman says: "Cardiff has a strong and proud tradition of welcoming economic migrants. As a city it has grown considerably over the past 200 years, with the endeavour and innovation of migrants contributing significantly to its success. By attracting people from across the globe we have not only created a prosperous capital, but also a lively and energetic city with its own distinct Cardiff character"
