 BBC
Look East searches for the TV stars of the future
Budding
young TV journalists are being offered an opportunity to jump-start
their careers, thanks to an exciting new BBC Look East competition
for secondary schools.
The
BBC's regional television news programme is launching the Schools
Media Challenge 2003 on tonight's programme on BBC ONE
East at 6.30pm (23 January).
All
secondary schools in the East of England region with media facilities,
such as a camcorder and editing equipment, are invited to meet the
challenge of producing a short television film for BBC Look East.
The
winning entry will be shown on the programme later in the year and
the school will be presented with the prestigious BBC Look East
Media Challenge Cup, which they can keep for the year.
BBC
Look East Editor, Dave Betts, says: "It's an exciting opportunity
for local secondary schools. Entire classes could get involved in
the project as making a film for television requires a variety of
different skills, from presenting and editing to writing a top quality
script. We hope that there will be something for everyone."
For
more details and expert advice on making a film for the competition,
watch tonight's BBC Look East programme or visit www.bbc.co.uk/lookeast.
All the
BBC's digital services are now available on Freeview,
the new free-to-view digital terrestrial television service, as well
as on satellite and cable.
Freeview
offers the BBC's eight television channels, as well as six BBC radio
networks.
The
soon to launch BBC THREE will become available as it goes on air.
