BUDDING book reviewers are being urged to visit Kidderminster Library to take part in a national competition with a first prize of £30,000.

The Orange Prize for Fiction, which got underway on Monday and runs until June 30, involves readers submitting a review of one of six shortlisted titles which will be announced on May 10.

Readers will be invited to choose what they think is the best book and write a review of it.

Prizes at the Market Street venue include a mobile phone and copies of the six shortlisted books, with the best reviews going forward to the national stages.
