The Heywire competition is open to people aged 16 – 22, who submit a story about life in Australia outside the major cities. The story can be created in any form of media: text, video or audio.

 
Successful stories are presented on the ABC through ABC Radio, triple j and abc.net.au and winners also score and all-expenses-paid trip to the Heywire Youth Issues Forum in Canberra in February 2012. The Heywire Forum is a chance for the participants to develop outstanding ideas and proposals that will create change in their local communities.
 
Entries close 19 September 2011.
