Write children’s material for CBBC

The next generation of CBBC writers are being sought. Writers with fresh perspectives, original voices, and the ability to create unforgettable characters will shine.

The opportunity is open to any writer who wants to write children's drama for the 6-12 age range.

CBBC said it is looking for 30-minute original TV scripts offering fresh cultural perspectives, tales combining authenticity with hope and joy, stories from a child's point of view, characters that will engage and surprise the audience, scripts that are powerful, emotional, and contemporary, shows that will work for the CBBC audience and channel but can dare to take risks.

A shortlist of 15-20 writers will be invited to a masterclass in July 2009.

Between eight and ten shortlisted writers will spend an intensive residential week developing their work, improving their craft and pitching to CBBC in September/October 2009.

The final shortlist will receive CBBC mentoring from the development team and a £300 bursary.

Closing date is July 1, 2009.
