Want to audition for What Now on TVNZ2.? Read this

From Kate Morgan - a researcher for children’s television show, What Now on TVNZ2. 

What Now are currently on the hunt for outgoing and passionate Kid Presenters for 2017 in the Auckland area. I was wondering if there might be anyone between the ages of 6-12 years that a teacher or principal at your school might be able to suggest who is passionate about:

·         Coding

·         Magic

·         Crafts

·         Music

·         Science

·         Film making

·         Exercise

·         Building things

·         Baking

·         OR ANYTHING ELSE

We would love if you could please share this flier with those children who might be interested in submitting an audition tape via YouTube (introducing themselves, telling and showing us about what they are passionate about in no longer than one minute) by next Monday 28^th November!

Best,
Kate
