Christmas radio jingle Slough competition
Slough Borough Council would like to hear from young people in the borough to help them raise awareness of the dangers of drink/drug driving and to put their thoughts on the matter in a special Christmas jingle for the radio.
The Slough council’s Drugs and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT), in partnership with Crimestoppers, have organised a competition, open to everyone under 19 years old, and the winner will have their jingle played on Time FM.
They will get the full star treatment by having their song played on the radio station for the whole of December, as well as being interviewed by local media.
Any type of music can be entered, everything from traditional jingles to hip hop beats, as long as it focuses on the dangers of drug taking or drinking while driving.
James Priestman, head of drugs and community safety for Slough Borough Council, said: “This is an excellent opportunity for young people in the town to express themselves and show off their musical flair.
“Young people have so much creative energy so I hope they get involved. You never know, for the winner this could be the road to music stardom.”
Cllr Sean Wright, Slough commissioner for young people’s services, said: “Our young people have a lot of ability so I think this is a great chance for them to show what they can do and help to educate the community as well.
“It is important that everyone, and not just our younger residents, realise the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.”
The competition closes on December 7 and all entries can either be sent as a CD into the DAAT team at the Town Hall, Bath Road, Slough, SL1 3UQ or tracks can be downloaded from the Crimestoppers website.
