Great Yarmouth Borough Council and East Suffolk Council have announced a joint City of Culture 2025 bid, the first collaborative effort between two councils.
The bid will focus on Great Yarmouth, Gorleston and Lowestoft and "seek to challenge the low social mobility and disadvantage in the area".
Great Yarmouth Borough Council leader Carl Smith said he hopes the bid will forge new opportunities for young people.
“Our bid will provide ambition for our residents, inspire people and steer them towards engaging with others and creating positive pathways," he added.
Norfolk and Suffolk County Council have announced support of the bid, which has until July 19 to submit plans to the DCMS.
