"American Capital of Culture" label -- what is it?
A group, perhaps self-appointed in Spain, regularly hands out some sort of a designation called "American Capital of Culture".
It also asks for plenty of money from the designatee.
Is this "American Capital of Culture" designation legitimate? Is it just a ruse to get money from cities and states?

The NGO "American Capital of Culture Organization" selects one city in the Americas annually to serve as the American Capital of Culture for a period of one year. The organization claims the initiative is based closely on the European Capital of Culture programme; it enjoys the backing of the hemisphere-wide Organization of American States, but the OAS is not involved in the selection process.
