Lost and Found

Share the stories of objects and places that were lost or forgotten for tens, hundreds or even thousands of years until YOU found them.

You don’t need to travel the world or be a professional archaeologist to make exciting discoveries… there are opportunities everywhere!

Lost and Found invited you to share the stories behind things that you have found; objects or places that were lost, forgotten or hidden for tens, hundreds or even thousands of years until YOU discovered them.

It could be anything from an old newspaper once hidden under a floorboard, a tin of photos found in a loft, the hidden remains of a ruined building you once stumbled across, or a Victorian penny dug up from the garden.

We wanted to hear all about your found objects – how did you discover it? What do you think its story could be? And what does it mean to you?

You shared your stories however you want – it could be a short written piece, an audio clip of some spoken word poetry, a short film, or a combination of all three. You can be as creative (or non-creative) as you’d like!

Although it is no longer available to submit we tried out the VideoAsk platform to share your story, you can still check out an example story shared by Grace, one of our Shout Out Loud Young Producers, for some inspiration.
