Younsgters with The X Factor can show their stuff with the KM Walk to School Song Contest.

Open until June 1, primary and nursery school children are invited to take part in the competition which could see them recording a track in a professional music studio.

This year’s track to perform is “I Wanna Be Like You” from Disney’s The Jungle Book.

Schools, classes, walking buses or just groups of friends are eligible to enter and a total of six finalist groups will be invited to record their song at a leading studio.

The overall winners of the KM Walk to School Song Contest will be invited to perform their rendition at two major events in 2017: the KM Walk to School Awards and walk to school and literacy celebration Buster’s Big Bash.

Schools can create original lyrics for the song, or simply provide a cover version. Backing music is not essential and points will be awarded to the most creative entries.
