Featured News Story(Myspace.com/dubplatedrama)
Dubplate Drama (a popular UK TV series) is back and they have teamed up with ChildLine to bring you Spit It Out! which offers budding performers the chance to show off their talents on Channel 4 and MTV Base. The competition runs from April 6th to May 22nd and winners will star in high-profile adverts surrounding the explosive third series which is due to broadcast in June. A host of celebrities, including N-Dubz, DJ Ironik, Tim Westwood, Trevor Nelson, Jay Sean, Craig David and Mobo Best Newcomer Chipmunk are supporting the campaign by recording their own similar sponsor adverts for ChildLine.
To win the chance to star in your own advert entrants must film themselves ‘spitting’ original lyrics on issues that matter to them and upload the clips on to Dubplate Drama’s MySpace page (myspace.com/dubplatedrama). The aim of the promotion is to drive home the message that whatever matters to young people also matters to ChildLine, and that talking about problems helps solve them.
A shortlist of the most original and best-executed performances will be selected via online vote, and four eventual winners will be picked by a judging panel consisting of Head of MTV Base Jasmine Dotiwala, DJ Tim Westwood, ChildLine, and the creator of Dubplate Drama Luke Hyams. Each of these talented performers, along with a friend, will be whisked to London to re-film their lyrics at MTV’s studios.
