Folded Wing are very pleased to announce that for the third year running, we are teaming up with the Student Radio Association (SRA), and the British Council, to run the SRA Selector initiative. This is an opportunity for six fantastic UK students to present their own version of The Selector on their student radio station, with the winner spending a week at one of The Selector's sister radio stations around the world.
Our two previous winners of the initiative - Jack Saunders of Fly FM at Nottingham Trent University and Ross Buchanan of Smoke Radio at Westminster University – both now have their own shows on the recently launched Radio X, alongside the likes of Chris Moyles and Johnny Vaughan, so this is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to achieve their goal of working in the radio industry.

Each of the six chosen students will:
- Be given a special Kit version of The Selector containing all the individual parts of the show (songs, jingles, sessions, interviews, plus a script). This will enable them to produce and present their own bespoke version of The Selector for their student radio station, being as creative as they wish with all the fantastic Selector content
- Receive an in-depth 2 day radio production and presenting training session on 26th & 27th November here at Folded Wing
- Interview (and be interviewed by) The Selector’s presenter Goldierocks for a special SRA feature to be broadcast on The Selector
- Have the opportunity to become a regular content provider for The Selector
Not only have our previous two winners gone on to achieve fantastic things, Jack and Ross both travelled to Mexico to spend a week at The Selector’s sister station in Mexico City, Ibero 90.9 FM as their prize for winning the initiative.
