We want to celebrate Christmas 2014 in a special way, and to help us to do that we’ve asked acclaimed author Susan Hill to write a Christmas poem for us. What we’d like you to do is set Susan’s poem, 'Can it be true?' and compete for your carol to be an important part of Radio 3’s Christmas celebrations. A shortlist of six entries will be performed live on air by the the BBC Singers.

To take part in the competition write a carol using Susan’s words for SATB choir (Sopranos, Altos, Tenor, Basses) either a cappella or with piano accompaniment. The piece of music you come up with needs to be no longer than 5 minutes in duration.

Entrants must be over the age of 16 at the closing date and not previously had a composition published by a professional publishing company.
