What is Heywire?
Heywire is an ABC Radio initiative, providing a space for the conversation, stories, debate and ideas of young people from rural and regional Australia.
It's a COMPETITION; open to people aged 16 - 22 and seeking stories in all forms of media - text, photos, video and audio - about life and issues in Australia outside the major cities. A winner is chosen by each of the 40+ ABC Radio regional broadcast locations across the country. Winning pieces are presented on the ABC through ABC Local Radio, ABC Radio National, triple j and abc.net.au.
It's a CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE; winners also receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the Heywire Youth Issues Forum in Canberra in February 2011, where they gain leadership skills and have a chance to pitch their ideas to politicians, funding bodies and policy makers.
It's a TOOL;a resource for parents, teachers, politicians and the wider community to engage young people with the concepts of digital literacy and social media. There are resource guides available for high-school teachers to tie Heywire into their teaching curriculum.
Entries close 8 October 2010. Enter your story now at: abc.net.au/heywire
