"The E STINGS competition has become something of an E4 institution," says E4 head of on-air, Neil Gorringe. "It's fantastic to see what people can get up to with our logo." The big difference this year is that we want you to create stings not just for E4 but also for E4 Music. "Since it launched in the 6am-2pm slot in August 2005, E4 Music has been a great success for the channel.
