Hull and parts of the east riding, including beverley, driffield, bridlington, hornsea, withernsea and the heritage coast, is among 22 areas competing for the honour, which will be awarded in 2013.
If the city takes the title, the area will become a focus for national attention and could host highprofile media events.
But organisers of the hull regional bid say whatever happens, the process will give hull and the east riding a cultural focus and help it attract more funding.
More than 100,000 people turned out to watch top music acts, dance performances and bohemian art displays and the organisers now plan to make it an annual event.
Highprofile events set to move from london are the turner prize for art and the stirling prize for architecture.
Highprofile media events such as the bafta tv awards and the brit awards for music could also follow suit.
All of this enhances our strong claim.
City of culture is a vehicle for being able to market the city and the surrounding area in a different way.
