yes, up to £500 million

they are announcing it on the One Show

Good luck to all entrees - Capital of Culture was great for Liverpool in 2008 and there were some amaaaaazing things going on

There seems to be have leaks in the press that the winner is Derry, fingers crossed it is!

are you in or near Derry River Rock?

Although I'm not from any of the four places, as Birmingham is the one that I do visit from time to time, and my brother studied there, so I'm hoping that Birmingham is the winner.

The announcement will be broadcast live on BBC One's The One Show at 1900 BST.(as per Barney's post which I've just seen)

If Brum get it then at least they could replace their ferris wheel with a proper Birmingham eye

In Derry, not the city about 40mins away from it.

oooh 'citing for you then if you get it

Is this an european or just an Uk thing?

Its UK DS as far as I know.

well i've just checked the official campaign song and video....and i must say it's a winner

If you haven't seen it yet...you must take a quick listen
