There are just 25 more days remaining in which you can get your entry in for this year's Showtime writing competition. Remember this year you are being asked to write a "newspaper" feature on a subject connected to the arts. It can be a review of a theatre production, a concert or an art exhibition. Or it might be a preview of an artistic/cultural event like a play, a recital, a concert, or even a rock concert. Then again you might wish to write a piece on one of our heritage sites or events like Notte Bianca... that's quite a topical one. Or you may prefer to write up some historical re-enactment. Or then again you may even come up with a completely original idea for an arts article.
The article should be no more than 600 words long and be written in a journalistic style, which should make the reader want to read the piece.
Once the expiry date for entries has passed, all the entries will be presented to a panel of judges who are or were experienced in the newspaper industry. Their decision will be final and we cannot enter into any correspondence on the result.
