It's a fantastic opportunity to get your work seen by agents, editors, booksellers and literary scouts. Undiscovered Voices will include a dozen extracts early readers up through young adult novels. The anthology will be published in 2012 and sent free of charge to UK editors and agents focusing on children’s literature, in the hopes of getting these authors discovered.

I entered a few years ago - be aware that it costs quite a lot to join SCBWI and you have to be a member to enter in the first place

I have made it clear you need to be a member and there's a link to the SCBWI subscription page. I've listed all the other things on offer to British Isles members so all the information's at hand to make an informed choice. :)
