The invitation relates to a competition that forms part of the station’s centenary programming schedule for next year, with a prize of €1000 up for grabs.
 
There are two stages to the competition.   
 
Firstly, secondary schools across the country, north and south, are invited to submit proposals for a 30 minute radio programme in Irish on the theme of the 1916 Easter Rising by 7 December.
 
The second stage sees five of the best proposals being selected, and a radio producer will work with those schools to produce the programmes, for broadcast in spring 2016. The best overall programme will be awarded €1000.
 
Judges will be looking for programmes that are imaginative and innovative.
 
This programme is being run with support from the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
 
The competition presents a wonderful opportunity for pupils to learn about the Rising, its impact on the country, and its importance in 2016 while also improving their Irish.
