ABC Heywire is searching for 40 young creative leaders from rural and regional Australia to tell their stories on the ABC and take part in the Heywire 2010 Forum in Canberra.

The Heywire competition is open to young people aged 16 – 22 living outside of Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide or Perth. To enter, create a story in any media – text, audio or video – about life in Australia outside the major cities. Successful stories are presented on the ABC through ABC Radio, triple j and ABC.net.au and winners also attend the Heywire Forum – a week-long all-expenses-paid trip – in Canberra in February 2009.

Entries are judged in the ABC Local Radio regions and one winner is chosen from each region for the calendar year.

For further information, see http://heywire.abc.net.au/. For further information on how to enter, and to download an entry form, see http://blogs.abc.net.au/heywire/how-to-participate.html.

Entries close 9 October, 2009.
