Details

Her Majesty The Queen will be the first British monarch to have reached 70 years on the throne. The Platinum Jubilee celebrations will reflect on Her Majesty’s reign, and her impact on the UK and the world since 1952.

As part of these celebrations, there will be a civic honours competition. This includes competitions for city status and Lord Mayor, or Provost, status.

Any local authority in any part of the United Kingdom, a Crown Dependency or an Overseas Territory, which considers that its area deserves to be granted the rare honour of city status on this very special occasion is welcome to enter the competition.

Local authorities for existing cities in the United Kingdom are welcome to enter the parallel competition for a Lord Mayoralty or Provostship.

Details on the application forms and entry guidelines for both competitions can be found in the published documents.
