The City of London Corporation will award three groups funding and the help of professional designers to produce eye-catching floats which will take part in the traditional parade.
The annual event, the largest of its kind in the world, dates back to 1215 and marks the formal ascendance to office of the new Lord Mayor, who is elected every year.
By tradition the new Lord Mayor is required to swear a pledge of allegiance to the Sovereign in front of the Lord Chief Justice and Judges of the Queen’s Bench Division.
Last year’s show included more than 6,000 participants, 63 floats, 23 marching bands and 18 carriages.
For more information, please contact Claire Holdgate at the City of London Corporation on Claire.holdgate@cityoflondon.gov.uk or 020 7332 3176.
The deadline for applications is Thursday 31 March.
