ABC Heywire (now in its tenth year!) is on again and inviting young people aged 16 - 22 from regional and rural Australia to have a say about the things that are important to them. Unlike in previous years, where submissions had to be in text, this year they are also after submissions in audio, pictures or moving images.

Winning stories will be selected from each of the 41 ABC regions across Australia, and produced by the ABC for broadcast on either national ABC Radio (which includes national youth radio station Triple J), ABC Online, ABC Television or ABC 2. Each winner will also be invited to take part in the all-expenses-paid Heywire Youth Issues Forum, held at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra in February 2008.

For further information, see http://www.abc.net.au/heywire/ (which includes previous stories and an online entry form) or freecall 1800 26 26 46.

Entires close 7 September, 2007.
