Do you think you could write a song or rap in a foreign language? Do you have the IT skills to make a video to accompany your song? If so… this competition is for you.
The Routes into Languages South West project is inviting you to submit a short video, animated if you prefer, to accompany a song or rap which you have composed in a foreign language. The competition is open to students between the ages of 11-18, in full time education and will be judged in two categories: 11-14 and 15-18.
The winning entry will receive a prize of £100. Three runners up in each category will receive £50. We will videostream your video on the Routes into Languages South West YouTube website. And a special prize was introduced last year - The Online Viewers' Award! You will have a chance to vote for your favourite video. The details about it will be posted on our YouTube website before the closing date. The award presentation ceremony will be held on Friday 4th May at the University of Exeter.
The closing date for entries is Friday 16th March 2012.
