Budding presenters in Suffolk have been offered more time to enter an exciting competition.

The deadline for entries for the Raising the Bar Co-Presenter Competition has now been extended until 5pm on Friday, April 6.

Two winners will present the presitigious Raising

the Bar Awards at Trinity Park on July 10, alongside former BBC presenter Terry Baxter – who will also mentor the pair.

Elsa Conney, one of last year's co-presenter winners, said: 'I thought I would enter the competition because it was a bit different and nothing like I had ever done before. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and I loved every minute of it.'

Mr Baxter said: 'We have so many talented young people in the county, and this is a fantastic opportunity for them. I'm looking forward to the auditions and working with the winners to showcase just some of the inspiring stories from Suffolk education at the Raising the Bar awards ceremony.'
