The BBC is looking for the best Junior and Senior School Choirs in the land!  Each school entering the competition should submit a CD of their choir singing one Christian hymn or worship song, from any published hymnbook, and one other choice that is inspired by or based upon the Christian faith.  The best choirs will compete against each other in three special editions of Songs of Praise (two semi-finals and a final), which will be recorded in Liverpool on 9 and 10 March 2013 and broadcast on BBC One next Spring.

So if you think your school choir has got what it takes, check out the BBC website at bbc.co.uk/songsofpraise, where you can find out all about the competition, watch this year’s finalists to see what your choir should be aiming for and download an application form with all of the rules, terms and conditions.  The deadline is not until 30 November, but now is the time to plan to take part so that your choir doesn’t miss the chance to be crowned champions!
