  Upload is open to submissions all year round, with content showcased every day on local Â鶹ԼÅÄ radio stations and on our social and online platforms. So whatever you create - comedy, fiction, blogs, vlogs, podcasts, videos, poetry, reviews, diaries, anything - we’d love you to upload it!
  Ìý
  Upload any kind of content: audio, video, text or images. We especially love video and audio, so writers: if you can record yourself reading your work, that would be brilliant. (If the thought of that fills you with complete dread, you can upload the text of course!)
  Ìý
  We’ll watch, read or listen to everything you upload and what catches our attention will go on air or on our digital platforms.
  Ìý
  Whether it’s your first creation or you’ve been quietly making stuff for years, upload it.
  Ìý
  Don’t worry if you’re not quite sure where it would ‘fit’, that’s our job to sort out. And it doesn’t need to be slick: we’re all about content made at home. We’ll get back to you if we’d like to showcase your work, and we might even help you add some extra polish.
