[Voting is open](http://www.artfund.org/Art-Plus-One) until Tuesday 28th February
on the Art Fund site.

One participant will be chosen at random to win a National Art Pass Plus One, giving
them and one other free or discounted entry to museums, galleries and historic houses
across the UK for a year. The museum that receives the most votes will be announced
on Friday 3th March.

[eHarmony’s Great Date Guide](http://www.eharmony.co.uk/dating-advice/the-great-date-guide)
already features five cultural hotspots: London’s Tate Modern, the V&A, and Serpentine
Gallery, Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, and Bristol’s SS Great Britain.

Charlotte Wood, senior marketing manager (museums), said:

> “At Art Fund we believe museums provide perfect settings for a date – whether 
> it’s with your friend, partner, or gran – as they are inspiring locations for 
> memorable experiences.   Deciding the shortlist was a challenge and this is just
> a small fraction of the incredible venues you can see with a National Art Pass.
> We look forward to hearing from the public which museum they feel ticks all the
> boxes for an ideal date venue.”

Art Fund and eHarmony announced their partnership [last October](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/10/24/10-corporate-fundraising-partnerships-end-october-2016/).
As part of this, for last year’s eHarmony Love Captured competition which asked 
people to enter their best photos showing love, the charity received a 50p donation
from eHarmony per entry.
