'Days Like This is a project run by BBC Radio Scotland and Scottish Book Trust. To take part,
all you need to do is tell us about an important day in your life.

Days Like This panel

Celebrity Panel - read their stories
Jamie Andrew - Mountaineer.

Hardeep Singh Kohli - Broadcaster.
Siobhan Redmond - Actress.

It could be the day you didn't get married. The day you made the best (or worst) decision of your life. It could be a day that still makes you smile. Or cry. If your story is true, and takes place on a single day, we want to hear from you.

How does it work? Simple. Your story needs to be true, and to be written from your point of view. It also needs to be no more than 1000 words in length. Submit your story via our website or send us a typed copy by post no later than 1 November to:
Days Like This,
BBC Scotland,
The Tun,
111 Holyrood Road,
Edinburgh.
EH8 8PJ

Your story will be read by our celebrity panel. They'll choose their favourites to feature in some special programmes on Radio Scotland. Days Like This - because we all have days we'll never forget.

Your story will be read by our celebrity curators. They'll choose their favourites to feature in some special programmes on Radio Scotland later this year. Days Like This - because we all have days we'll never forget.

Days Like This was inspired by Paul Auster’s book 'True Tales of American Life' as well as a project developed by BBC Northern Ireland.

I would enter but Irvine Welsh has already stolen my 'day.'

Thank you for posting this Dierdre, I was most interested in it and have started on my 'day' already. I will definitely be entering.

Thanks Govangirl. I think that this forum is an ideal way to spread info and activities that do not seem to always be advertised in our local press. If you are interested, I got this from the free e-newsletter from the Scottish Arts Council.

Good luck with your entry!!
