ASPIRING young writers are to be given the chance to work with some of the best writers in the UK in a unique competition.
Write Up Your Street, a programme run by East-Side Educational Trust supported by John Lyon's Charity and London Arts is looking for young people aged 16-18 from Ealing to have the opportunity to win time with a professional writer.
Winners of the competition will get a chance to develop their own writing skills and see their work published and distributed on free postcards and bill boards right across London, plus a £100 cash prize.
Merryl Simpson, Projects and Training Co-ordinator said: "It's a fantastic opportunity for young people and we are hoping to get a lot of entrants."
Entrants must submit a sample of their writing based around the theme of Urban Secrets. All entrants will then meet the mentors on April 3 and a shortlist of the winning entrants will be announced.
For entry forms or further details please contact Rakhee Jasani or Merryl Simpson on 020 7489 2032 or email: online@eastside.org.uk
