A COMPETITION honouring communities which go the extra mile to celebrate the Tour de Yorkshire is now open for entries.
‘Best dressed’ accolades are awarded to the locations that come-up with the most spectacular and eye-catching decorations.
Previous races have seen creations ranging from dyed sheep to special floral displays.
This year’s Tour – which will again feature top international cyclists – passes through more than 150 villages, towns and cities.
The fourth stage – on May 5 – takes in Haworth, Oakworth and the classified climb of Cote de Goose Eye, before heading to Sutton, Glusburn, Cross Hills, Farnhill and into Skipton.
Peter Dodd (pictured), commercial director of tourism agency Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “Every year we’re blown away by the creativity of people who pull out all the stops to decorate their home towns and villages to celebrate the Tour de Yorkshire.
“The event is so much more than a bike race, it’s about bringing people together.”
