Local BBC New Voices Terms and Conditions

The BBC's New Voices talent search is open for 2021.

We are looking for new voices to be heard on air at a some of our local BBC radio stations across . This year it’s easier than ever to take part. All you need to do to is to upload a 60 second audition film.

Use your 60 seconds to tell us a story about anything you like. It could be something serious or funny, it could be something that’s happened to you or someone you know.

ROUND ONE

Your uploaded submission will be reviewed by a panel of judges and you’ll have up to 60 seconds to tell an engaging story. Your story could be about you or something local that you care about, in fact anything, so long as it’s your own story.

Each judge will give mark the entry "Yes" or "No". Three "Yesses" mean you're through to Round Two.

You’ll be judged on your ability to tell an engaging story..

ROUND TWO

The team at your local BBC radio station will review your audition and decide who they’d like to hear more of. If you’re successful in Round Two, we’ll be back in touch.
