Yes, it's The Sun. But bear with us...

Media Trust have joined forces with The Sun to offer 16-21 year olds the chance to write their own column with the support of some of the Sun’s top journalists, including seasoned political columnist Trevor Kavanagh and Bizarre Editor Gordon Smart.

So, yes, it might be The Sun but how often do you get the opportunity to write for the UK's biggest selling daily rag?! In their words...

"We’ve launched a quest across the country to find undiscovered talent who deserve to take the title of Column Idol 2010. The hunt is being supported by rapper Dizzee Rascal and singer-songwriter Diana Vickers.
Column Idol Hurry, the competition closes midday Monday 9 August!

Those judged to have the best six ideas will receive training and mentoring to bring their creative idea to life, write their own column and pitch it to a panel of experts. The overall winner will have their column printed in The Sun newspaper for all to see. The competition is specifically looking to support young people in England who feel their voice is unheard and wouldn’t usually have access to an opportunity like this."

But hurry! The competition closes on Monday 9th August!
