Dizzee Rascal has launched a new competition to find a newspaper columnist.

The British rapper has teamed-up with The Sun to create Column Idol - which aims to help young people get into the world of journalism.

People aged between 16 and 21 can enter and the winner will have their articles published in the paper.

Rascal said, "Anything which gets kids to focus and use their creative juices is great." 

He added, "I reckon writing a column for The Sun is a bit like writing a pop song. People probably think it is easy but it's not. It really isn't that different from writing lyrics, because it involves expressing your thoughts."
