Today (2 February) the last day for Bradford to submit their full application to become UK City of Culture in 2025.
The city is up against seven others places for the title, which is currently held by Coventry.
The places that make the final shortlist are expected to be revealed next month.
A record 20 bids were submitted, with the eight longlisted locations seeing Bradford sit alongside the likes of Cornwall, Southampton, and County Durham.
Eight areas will receive £40,000 each to bid to become the UK’s next City of Culture and provide a “creative catalyst for change”.
