With some of the finest collections of oil paintings in the country, museums and galleries in Yorkshire have something for everybody. This year many of these paintings are available to view online for the first time and to celebrate Dig Yorkshire would like you to take part in this project to make the most of the fabulous art on your doorstep.
They are offering you a chance to win an exclusive print of your favourite painting by telling them why you like it and where you'd like to hang it. The most enthusiastic and popular entries will be selected and the winners announced in March. You can post your entry on Facebook and encourage your friends to vote for you, or send them a customised e-card.
Dig Yorkshire have already asked people to help create a shortlist of favourite paintings in Yorkshire. There are all kinds of paintings on the list which people love for different reasons.
You can see all the competition entries so far and select the story you think should win. Dig Yorkshire will keep you up-to-date on Twitter with the latest and most popular entries. You can also vote in some of the museums and galleries taking part.
They have put together trails to help you to visit these beautiful paintings. You can customise your trail to your mood or the paintings you like best or the museums and galleries nearest you. How about the love trail? The local heroes? A bit of escapism?...
Get involved and help celebrate Yorkshire's favourite paintings. Get the picture.
