Blast Arts 2006

BBC Blast Young Reporters from last year

Fancy being our Blast Young Arts Reporter?

Do you love music, dance or visual arts? Could you tell the rest of the world about your passion?

This summer BBC Radio York is looking for reporters, aged between 18-19, to report on some of the best gigs and events around the local area.

You'll be expected to cover everything from Hip-Hop to Bhangra to Ballet - and then get creative by writing reports, taking photos and even making videos about what you've discovered in the local arts scene.

We're looking for an enthusiastic team player with a passion for the arts to join this BBC North Yorkshire Where I Live website.

What's in it for you?

• You'll take part in an eight week unpaid placement; of which we'd expect you to commit two days each week.
• You'll have a BBC mentor who will help you create your stories, and give you advice with your career.
• You'll get your stories published on the BBC website - for the whole world to see.
• We'll send you to Bristol for a two-day training event; paying for your accommodation and travel.
• You'll also have the chance to broadcast on local radio, and possibly BBC TV.

So if you've got some spare time this summer and fancy putting BBC Blast on your CV, then apply now to become a Blast Young Reporter.
