Want to write for Cbeebies? We've just launched our brand new competition, Get a Squiggle On. We're looking for 20-minute live action scripts - they can in any genre including Drama, Comedy, Music, Dance and Puppets, or a combination of more than one, suitable for children aged 3-6.

You might never have written for a pre-school audience; you might be new to writing completely - whatever story you choose to tell, remember to let your imaginations run wild! This is an opportunity to develop your work, bolster your writer's 'toolbox' and craft, working with the Cbeebies team.

For full details on how to enter, visit the Get a Squiggle On competition page.

We've put together a selection of resources to help get you inspired - visit our resources page to download Cbeebies scripts, watch some clips from Grandpa In My Pocket, Mr Bloom's Nursery and more, and to read some top tips on writing for a pre-school audience from Zingzillas' Producer and Script Editor, Dominic Macdonald.

Check out some highlights from Cbeebies in the showreel below:


Stay tuned to the blog for more updates, video resources and guest blogs during the competition.

Good luck!
