VIDEO may have killed the radio star -- but it could make heroes of the country's millions of volunteers.
And it could also give your readers the chance to see their own film appear on national television, or at cinemas across the country.
Volunteer Britain is a competition led by CSV as part of the Year of the Volunteer.
Budding Spielbergs simply need to make a short film showing that volunteering isn't so dull -- and how can it be when volunteers mentor young people, work in prisons, save the environment, teach reading, cut hospital waiting lists and train guide dogs.?
To find out more see www.csv.org.uk/volunteerbritain. And if you want to take part but either don't have film-making skills or don't know any volunteers, don't panic -- contact us and we'll help you out.
Closing date for entries is September 16.
We hope your readers will grab the chance to leave a legacy of the amazing work done by local volunteers.
