Join Millitec Media Starz for a Chance to Win Fame, Fortune, and £1,000 for Your School!

Millitec Food Systems, a renowned local food technology company, is thrilled to announce the launch of Millitec Media Starz in collaboration with Erewash Sound. This exciting initiative invites all Key Stage 2 schools across Erewash and the surrounding areas to create a 10-minute radio show.

About the Initiative

Participating schools will have access to comprehensive online tutorials and guidelines for creating a professional radio show. Students can submit voice notes to propose their radio show ideas, which can focus on any topic related to food. The top 10 proposals will be selected for production and broadcast. Industry professionals will visit the selected schools to collaborate with students and staff, providing hands-on experience in radio production.

The chosen shows will be broadcast on Erewash Sound. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to visit the studio and discuss live on air how they developed and brought their ideas to life.

Prizes

Overall Winner: Judged and voted by listeners, the winning school will receive £1,000 in cash funding.

Judge Awarded Prizes: Two additional prizes of £500 each for Best Idea and Best Performance.
Schools can choose to spend the prize money on any creative endeavours they wish to support.

Millitec Media Starz is the brainchild of Richard Ledger, Managing Director of Millitec, who shared his inspiration: “When I was a kid, I spent days in my room building my own radio transmitter to get on air. This is a great chance for kids to have fun, learn new skills, and actually get broadcast on the airwaves. We’re all really looking forward to hearing their ideas and working with these talented kids to get the programs made.”

Jeff Martin, Radio Station Manager at Erewash Sound, said: “We are very proud to be collaborating with Millitec in bringing this unique competition to local schools. Radio has been my passion since I was a child and to be able to give this opportunity to new generations and see what ideas they come up is incredible.”
