Students have been given the chance to design two official posters for the 2027 Tour de France.

The world-renowned cycle race will see a number of stages take place across Great Britain, including two taking in Carlisle and Keswick.

Art and design students across Cumbria have been invited to take part in a competition to design a poster for the Grand Départs – the opening stages of the race.

University of Cumbria business manager Karen Jones said the competition gave students a chance to have their work “showcased on a global stage”.
