AS part of the celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, The Press is looking for talented young people to write an article for a new competition.

If you are an aspiring reporter, photographer, or blogger we want to hear your stories about marking the event.

The best pieces will be published on the newspaper's education page and on our website.

You might have an idea of how you would cover an event in your town or village to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee.

Alternatively you could write a story about a previous royal visit to the city or interview a member of your family who may have met the Queen.

Perhaps the Queen visited your school and you or your teacher have fond memories of the day. If so, we would like to hear your story.

You might want to cover the news as it happens and send us your own report, photos or video from the Queen’s visit to York on April 5.

Steve Hughes, managing editor of The Press, said: “We want to make our reporting of the Jubilee relevant to all our readers and thought it would be interesting to get a young person’s perspective. This is an opportunity for young, creative people to come up with their own ideas, whether that’s covering a street party, or seeking the views of young people on today’s royal family.”

The competition is open to anyone aged ten to 18 living in The Press circulation area.

Written entries or blogs should be no longer than 300 words with any relevant photographs attached. We will also consider video reports of no more than three minutes.

Entries should be sent by email to haydn.lewis@thepress.co.uk or by post to Haydn Lewis, The Press, 76-86 Walmgate, York. YO1 9YN.

We will keep entries open until June 29, but entries should be submitted as close to the event you are covering as possible and may be published at any time.

If your report is chosen for publication you will be notified.
