Universities Week launches competition to be an Olympic Stadium commentator

Universities Week 2012 logo
Fancy yourself as an Olympic Stadium commentator? Then here's your chance...
 
In an exclusive competition for students only, Universities Week is offering three lucky winners the chance to be a commentor at the BUCS Visa Outdoor Athletics Championships, a London 2012 test event as part of the London Prepares Series.

Flex your sports reporting skills and simply upload a 90-second audio or film clip of yourself commentating at a local sports event to YouTube. Students are asked to film university sporting events but for distance learners, a local sporting event will do.

On Saturday 5 May 2012, three lucky finalists will get coaching from Britain’s best known sports commentators John Inverdale and Paul Dickenson before competing in the commentary box during the Outdoor Athletics Championship's morning heats. The winner will be selected by the stadium’s sports presentation team to commentate in the evening finals in front of spectators at the Olympic Stadium.

See here for full details of the competition and how to enter. Please note the competition closes on 1 April 2012.
