Radio 1 Christmas Presenters 2022

There's a BBC Radio 1 logo with the text 'CHRISTMAS PRESENTERS' in the top left, on a pink and blue background. Below the text there are cut outs of 9 of the chosen Christmas presenters, to display an array of people joining the network.

This campaign is now closed.

In 2022, Radio 1 opened a window for presenters to send their demos to the station, for the opportunity to host shows on the station over Christmas.

You must be aged 18 or over to send us your work.

Send in your demo via the Up and Coming Uploader - the home for aspiring BBC presenters to submit their work.
