Forty aspiring writers for screen, stage and radio will attend a practical, hands-on BBC Writersroom workshop at IdeasTap, taking place on Wednesday 17 December 2014.

The workshop will be held from 1pm till 6pm with a free lunch being served from 12pm for all attendees.

The workshop will be delivered by Henry R. Swindell, development executive for BBC Writersroom.

Following the workshop, attendees will be asked to upload scripts to their IdeasTap portfolio by the end of January, based on their learning at the workshop. All forty will receive a professional script report on their submitted work by the end of March.

To apply for this brief, you'll need to upload an original narrative script (for stage, radio or screen) to your IdeasTap portfolio. Your piece must be at least 15 minutes/pages long. It can be a complete piece of work or an extract from something longer. Each script will be assessed on the basis of a 10-page read – the judges are looking for writers who can grab their attention in the opening pages.

The judges of this brief are looking for scriptwriters looking to develop their skills in writing for television and radio.

Applicants must be available to attend the workshop in London on Wednesday 17 December.

The winners of this brief will be announced on Monday 1 December.
