In 2028, Czechland and France will each host a European Capital of Culture. A third city will come from outside of the EU, either an EEA country or from an EU-candidate country.
Czech cities have to submit applications by 1.9.2022.
The winning cities will be announced in December 2023.
Yesterday, a group of three cyclists left Brno to ride 230 km (143 miles) to deliver Brno's application to the Ministry of Culture in Prague. They should arrive tomorrow afternoon. There's a a lot on the line. Being selected as a European Capital of Culture comes with a €1,5 million prize.
The four Czech cities in the running are Brno, Broumov, České Budějovice, and Liberec.
The Frech cities in contention are Nice, Clermont-Ferrand, Reims, Rouen, Bourges, Saint-Denis, Amiens, and Bastia.
The non-EU cities up for consideration are Budva, Montenegro and Skopje, North Macedonia.
Good luck Brno! Fingers crossed!
Update October 2022: Well that didn't take long. Brno is out of contention. There was a 12-member panel of experts that narrowed the Czech application list down to Broumov and České Budějovice.
The Frech cities now on the short list are Rouen, Bourges, Clermont-Ferrand, and Montpellier.
