This year, applications for the National Features and Documentary Series are a little different. We want you to submit text below, or upload an audio or video file answering just three questions:

What is your idea for a Story?
Who are the people you will talk to for your story? Tell us their names and how you will connect with them.
What do you want to get out of the training and mentoring?

Either answer these three questions in the text below (maximum 1000 words)

OR upload an MP3 or video file of yourself answering the questions here.

If uploading video or audio, your file will be uploaded when you hit 'Submit'. Unfortunately there isn't a status bar, so just give it a couple of minutes. For best results, make sure your file is less than 15mB. Still having issues? Call 02 9310 2999 or write to crn@cbaa.org.au.
