英国文化城市奖评选委员会已从九个城市的长名单中选定黑池、谢菲尔德、米尔顿凯恩斯和雷克瑟姆四个城市进入2029年英国文化城市奖的最终竞选阶段1。这四个入选城市各获得12.5万英镑资金，用于进一步完善各自的竞标方案1。
最终获胜者将获得1000万英镑的资金支持，用于举办文化活动1。这一奖项旨在推动地方经济发展、增强社区认同感并吸引游客到访1。评选工作由《Brookside》和《Grange Hill》创作人菲尔·雷蒙德领导的顾问团进行1。英国文化城市奖得主将于新年期间宣布1。
前四届英国文化城市的获奖方（2013年德里、2017年赫尔、2021年考文垂及2025年布拉德福德）均表示这一荣誉具有重要的转型意义1。未能进入最终名单的城市包括伊普斯维奇、因弗内斯、米德尔斯堡、朴茨茅斯和斯温顿1。
Blackpool, Sheffield, Milton Keynes, and Wrexham have been selected as finalists for the UK City of Culture 2029 award, advancing from a longer list of nine candidates 1. Each of the four shortlisted cities will receive £125,000 to refine their bidding proposals as they compete for the title 1.
The winning city will secure £10 million in funding to host cultural events and activities 1. The selection was made by an advisory panel led by Phil Redmond, the creator of television series Brookside and Grange Hill 1. Previous recipients of the award—Derry in 2013, Hull in 2017, Coventry in 2021, and Bradford in 2025—have all described the honor as transformative for their communities 1. The award aims to drive local economic development, foster community pride, and attract visitors to the winning location 1.
The five cities that did not advance from the initial longlist were Ipswich, Inverness, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, and Swindon 1. The winner of the 2029 competition will be announced around the New Year period 1.
