CBBC Masterclass Report 11:29pm on 20 Aug 2009 Sounds really interesting. It's good to hear more about what CBBC are looking for. Wish I'd got through!
Northern Voices 09:27am on 12 Aug 2009 If you're complaining that things are worse in Ireland than in the UK, then aren't you guilty of 'whinging' yourself? The point I was making is that this kind of localised scheme seems pretty divisive and apparently set up to deal with inequalities that in my opinion don't actually exist in the TV industry nowadays.
Northern Voices 10:37pm on 11 Aug 2009 I'm just waiting for Southern, or London, Voices (will probably never happen though)! I guess the reasoning behind this scheme is that Northern writers suppoedly don't get the chances people in say, the South East supposedly get (and which I've not experienced or seen any evidence of), but really, in a time when the airwaves are ruled over by writers like Paul Abbott, Jimmy McGovern, Peter Bowker, Tony Jordan and even Russell T. Davies (yes, I know he's Welsh, but given how the vast majority of his TV writing career has been spent in the North, on Northern-based shows and with Northern production companies, he's surely an honorary Northerner) is that really even the case? If anything, I'd say being a Northerner's a bit of an advantage when it comes to getting into TV writing.
CBBC Competition 11:35pm on 20 Jul 2009 I entered the contest, and I was wondering out of interest what proportion of the shortlist were already produced/professional writers? It would be interesting, as @funlovingcreative said, to see who got through. What's the cut-off for qualifying as a 'New Writer'?
CBBC Competition 5:24pm on 10 Jul 2009 Looks like I'm another one of the 680 or so people who didn't get through then. Did anyone who posts on here actually get picked?

I suspect that because the competition was open to professional/produced writers, that's probably the kind of people who got through to the final 20.

Oh well, on to the next competition...
CBBC Competition 1:22pm on 06 Jul 2009 Wow! I was expecting a lot of entries, but over 700! Oh well, here's hoping!
