Can you sing? Are you aged 7-16 with a real passion for music and performing? If the answer is yes then BBC Talent want to hear from you.

This is a fantastic chance to star in BBC Two's film production of the musical fairytale The Little Prince. And if you're confident, energetic and have never sung on TV before, this is a one-off chance to bag one of two lead roles (one boy and one girl) or 25-30 chorus places.

To enter

Nationwide auditions will take place in May and June and you can audition in one of two ways - reserved or open.

Reserved auditions places are limited. To apply, register your details and chosen city on www.bbc.co.uk/talent . BBC Talent will pick names at random and if selected, they will write to you with details of your reserved audition place.

Alternatively, you can turn up for an open audition. These will be on a first come, first served basis so you need to be there at 9am to have any chance of being seen. BBC Talent can't audition you unless you're accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
