The Australian Broadcasting Commission’s (ABC) Heywire competition gives people aged 16–22 in rural and regional Australia a chance to ‘tell it like it is’ on the ABC. All they have to do is submit a story about life in their neck of the woods, or an issue in their community. Their story might be about something they’d like to see change in their town, or an incident or issue that has had an impact on them, or simply why they like living where they do. Stories can be in text, audio, photo or video formats.
The ABC selects approximately forty winning stories from around Australia to be produced and reworked with the help of ABC staff and they are played on Radio National, ABC Local Radio, triple j and abc.net.au. Winners also score an all-expenses-paid trip to the Heywire Youth Issues Forum in Canberra in February where they learn leadership skills, and stay at the Australian Institute of Sport.
Find more information and upload stories at the ABC Heywire website.
