Hi Michael,
Thank you for your message. As far as I know the competition hasn’t been announced this year, it is normally announced around June time in the Irish television magazine ‘The RTE Guide’. I imagine the rules would be the same, so you could have your piece prepared to submit. Best wishes and good luck!
