This is a hospital radio station with a heart. We like to listen to what our audience tell us. Any old radio station, it seems, can play continuous music but our listeners want more. They want items of interest and they want short stories and they want short stories they haven't heard before.
We thought we should rise to such a challenge and we invite you to join us. So if you think you have a short story in you and you can write it for radio we would be delighted to hear from you. Our sponsors have put up cash prizes and we have the best of people to do the judging.
Judging the short stories will be Janice Long of BBC Radio 2 fame. Now there's a woman who knows what's good for radio!
Judging the poetry will be local author and campaigner Sandra Brown who was Scotswoman of the Year in 2005 and certainly knows what people like to read and hear.
You can download all the details of the Short Story Competition by clicking the link. Download the Poetry Competition too. Print the brochure and pass it on to your friends - they might want to write for us too.
We anticipate that all items will be broadcast and the listeners will play a big part in the selection of the final choices.
Go on - get writing!
......... Update - we have been innundated with entries for this competition - there is no way we will be able to acknowledge every entry - we are all volunteers working in our spare time - Judging is a long and tiring process - If you sent us something then be patient - you should hear from us eventually.

I live in South Africa - may I send you an entry for your competition please?
What a good idea! Have you thought about circulating writers groups and asking them for their work?
Even though we are not local to you I will ask my writers group to help you.
