Tell us why where you live should win UK City of Culture?

Could your town, city or village be the next place to shine? Four UK places have been shortlisted to become UK City of Culture 2029.

The winner, announced next May, will receive millions of pounds to put on exciting events, celebrations and activities for people of all ages.

The City of Culture title is awarded every four years to a place that does a brilliant job of celebrating its arts, history, creativity and community spirit.

This time Blackpool, Milton Keynes, Sheffield and Wrexham are all hoping to take the crown.

The most northern town on the shortlist, Blackpool is known for being a place of fun, beach holidays and entertainment.

Illuminations light up the coastal streets during the autumn and winter months, bringing millions of visitors to the city.

The Blackpool Tower and its ballroom are world famous and have hosted huge dance competitions for over a century. The sparkly extravaganza that is BBC Strictly Come Dancing travels to the iconic dancefloor every year.

There is also a theme park, beach, huge pier, a couple of successful local football teams and a waxwork museum.

What more could you want?!

The newest of the shortlisted cities, Milton Keynes is about 50 miles outside England's capital, London.

The city's infrastructure is laid out in an interesting grid pattern and is home to over 400 bridges (more than Venice!) and 130 roundabouts.

It also boasts more than 20 million trees and shrubs, making it one of the greenest cities in the UK.

Plus Bletchley Park, where codebreakers helped crack secret messages during World War Two, is located within the city limits.

Known as the Steel City, Sheffield is famous for its huge industrial history making steel and cutlery that was exported around the world.

Today, it's also known for music, sport, theatre and the arts.

Visitors may have been to the National Videogame Museum, Weston Park Museum, or even popped into what is recognised as the world's oldest football club, Sheffield F.C, founded in 1857.

Sheffield is also close to the beautiful Peak District National Park, with its huge green spaces and farmland.

One of Great Britain's greatest ever sports stars was also from Sheffield - Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, who won heptathlon gold at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Also on the shortlist is Wrexham, in North Wales. If it wins, it will be the first Welsh City of Culture too.

Many people believe Wrexham is one of the most haunted cities in the UK and ghostly sightings have been reported at many landmarks, historical homes and pubs.

Much like Sheffield, it is also famous for its industrial past but it is now well known for its Hollywood connections.

Actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are the co-owners of Wrexham Football Club and have turned its fortunes around with huge investment.

The bid for City of Culture promises to make Wrexham "the world's most playful place."
