International reggae artiste Tarrus Riley has once again joined forces with radio station Irie FM to present the Tarrus Riley/Irie FM Freedom Writer competition.

The competition seeks to unearth the creativity of teenagers and their knowledge about Black History.

Tarrus Riley tells Music News that the feedback and response from the competition last year was overwhelming hence the decision to make it an annual one.

The competition is open to students between the ages of 12 and 17 years old. They are required to write a poem or essay no more than 200 words and explain why black history is important and relevant to them.

Entries must be creative, original, and dynamic and can be emailed to trileyfreedomwriter@iriefm.net Entries can also be dropped off at Irie FM Kingston or Ocho Rios offices.

The deadline for entries is February 29.

First prize is an I Pad and second prize is a book voucher valued at $20,000. There will also be consolation prizes.

I use to love listening to your father Jimmy but I think I prefer Tarus music more and what you are doing I tofully support it and other artist should take page from out of your book. Just one question I would ask is freedom writers limited to only teens and if so why not target young talented men as well who has there. Own talent as well that's just my question?

About IRIE FM

The station officially went on air on August 1, 1990. Reggae in the morning, Reggae in the evening, Reggae in the night was the cry. Critics said it was impossible to sustain a 24-hour Reggae music station. In fact, so strong was the impact, it proved that this format was something the Jamaican public yearned for. The 'little station that could' got all media houses in Jamaica to stand up and take note.
