The Signal Express is a project created by and for young Melbourne writers aged 13-18, supported by Express Media and Signal Arts Studio. We’re opening applications for 2015 and looking for writers interested in the freshest of arts, entertainment and cultural journalism.

Your application should include:

– Your name and age

– A short statement about why you’d like to be part of The Signal Express

– A 300 word review of any kind. Choose something you love: perhaps a movie you recently saw, a video game, album, or theatre show

Email your application to Fiona Dunne at creativeproducer@experssmedia.org.au.

Applications are now closed.

If successful, you’ll meet every second Wednesday of the month at The Signal Arts Studio on Melbourne’s Northbank. The 2015 program is action-packed and covers what makes a successful arts and culture journalist to help you build your skills as a writer.
