the winners of the jingle competition

Some of Ms McIntyre's S4 pupils decided to enter the anti-litter jingle competition being run by Falkirk Council and Central FM. Presenters from Central FM visited the school to deliver a workshop covering the key areas on how to write a successful radio commercial, including how to plan and prepare, record and edit sound in order to create the finished commercial demo.

The winning entry was decided by a combination of points awarded for listener votes and points awarded by high profile judges from the professional radio industry and from Falkirk Council. Bo'ness Academy gained more than 50% of the 7000 listener votes and were unanimous winners in the view of the judging panel

The Academy jingle will be produced professionally and the pupils involved will be used to voice the commercial which will be used in an airtime campaign from 27th October for 4 weeks. The school was also awarded a cheque for £150 and the pupils involved were given shopping vouchers.

The pupils would like to thank Ms McIntyre and Mrs Hume for helping them enter this competition and also Mrs Cunningham and Mr McKinnon in the music department for their time, assistance and endless patience in the recording of the jingle
