Calling all young plumbers

The search is now on for the UK's top young talent with BBC3's Young Plumber of the Year.

 The challenge is part of a series that celebrates the millions of young British workers whose skills aren't the kind to win them a million-pound recording contract.

Following the success of the first series last year, the BBC is on the lookout for young plumbers.
"There are talent shows for dancers, singers, and entertainers," said the BBC, "but what about all those who never see the limelight?
"If you are a talented young plumber, we want to hear from you. Or if you know someone who fits the bill, please get in touch."

 The BBC is looking for "someone who can be a true ambassador for their trade, who is aged 16 to 25 years, up for a challenge and wants to show the world their skills".

 Applicants must be between 16 and 25 years of age on the closing date at the end of July 2010, the exact date is still to be confirmed.

Throughout July & August, the BBC will invite applicants to first- and second-stage interviews with industry experts and its casting team in Manchester and London. Around 25 will be selected to take part in a practical skill test.

Four finalists and one standby will go forward to the final recording in the studio.

Exact recording dates are to be confirmed, but the filming window is between 13 and 30 September, 2010.

Each finalist will be required for two days and the format of the show will involve three practical challenges and an interview.

The judges will choose an eventual winner to represent their industry.
