Immersive art shows in recent years have included the Phoenix exhibition, which marked 40 years since a devastating fire at the minster, and Colour and Light, which explored wildlife in York.A spokesperson for the minster said: "The Talent Awards are open to anyone anywhere in the world and are an opportunity to contribute to the ongoing narrative of a space that has stood as a centre of culture, craft, and community for nearly 1,400 years."
Cherie Federico, who runs the annual Aesthetica short film festival in York, is working with the minster on the awards."We're especially interested in how artists can explore themes of water and baptism – powerful symbols of renewal and transformation," she said. The Very Rev Dominic Barrington, Dean of York, added: "No visitor to the minster leaves without a sense of the artistry that generations have poured into this place.

BBC Sounds launches new podcast - Fame Under Fire - hosted by Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty
Following the success of Diddy on Trial, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty returns with a bold new series exploring the trending stories in celebrity culture - Fame Under Fire. When scandal collides with celebrity, Fame Under Fire will be listeners' backstage pass to the truth behind the headlines, examining the stories of high-profile figures unfolding in the media – from musicians, film stars, athletes, politicians, influencers and even royalty. In an age of AI-generated 'evidence', misinformation, and unqualified 'newsfluencers', Anoushka and expert guests will myth bust and fact check the stories lighting up social media and beyond. Episode One will be available on Thursday 24 July on BBC Sounds. The trailer episode is out now on BBC Sounds, listen here. Diddy on Trial topped the podcast charts and saw Anoushka report on every day of Sean 'Diddy' Combs's trial from outside the courthouse in New York. Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty said: 'Diddy on Trial was unique because we were in conversation with our listeners throughout the case. This was audience driven journalism from the start, but it was clear after week one at the trial that the Diddy case was just the beginning. We got thousands of messages and requests to look into other powerful figures. We put people in the spotlight on pedestals and invest in them. So when they fall, we want the truth. In Fame Under Fire, each week we'll be investigating the stories of high-profile people who wield a different kind of, but no less influential, power in the world of pop culture.' Rhian Roberts, Commissioner Podcasts & Formats, said: 'Anoushka is the perfect presenter to host these conversations. She brings an authentic love and knowledge of this social media driven space. Fame Under Fire will be the podcast where listeners can get the best intel on the stories dominating their feeds. It'll also give us all a bit of a moment to weigh up how important these stories are, where they come from and why we can get so caught up in them.' Fame Under Fire will be made out of Salford by the BBC's Long Form Audio department, the team also behind Diddy on Trial and the Mangione Trial. It will be visualised on the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sounds YouTube channel. Clare Fordham, Editor Long Form Audio: 'I'm thrilled that Anoushka will be heading up this exciting new project from our base in Salford. The Long Form Audio team here have led the way in impactful youth-targeted visualised podcasts. Fame Under Fire will be on hand to debunk what you're hearing on social media and get to the truth of what's going on.' Anoushka joined BBC's Long Form Audio team in Salford in 2022, where along with hosting Diddy on Trial, she also contributed to Witness History and The Global Story on BBC World Service. She began her career making documentaries for BBC Radio 4 and her programme Degrees of Love was a New York Radio Award finalist. In 2020, she produced 'Back to Uni' for BBC Sounds and BBC Radio 4, working with BBC investigative journalist Sue Mitchell (To Catch a Scorpion). She has also presented an episode of The Documentary Podcast on BBC World Service English which explored why young people are having less sex. Episode 1 will be released on the 24 of July on BBC Sounds, BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sounds YouTube channel and wherever you get your BBC podcasts. If you are outside the UK, it's available wherever you get your BBC podcasts. Listen to Diddy on Trial on BBC Sounds AR2 Follow for more

Controversial NBA wag Draya Michele, 40, hits out at critics of romance with boy toy Jalen Green, 23
Draya Michele has emotionally revealed how criticism of her relationship with NBA star Jalen Green has impacted her. The couple have a 17-year age-gap and Michele, 40, has a son who is only a year younger than the 23-year-old Green. They are believed to have started dating in the summer of 2023 and even have a kid together. But the stir their romance caused still leads to Michele getting targeted by social media trolls. 'I mean, you try to get to that point (where you don't give a f***), but I mean you're still human and you still have feelings,' she told the New York Post. 'Sometimes, you know you can read things that are hurtful and you want to just let it roll off, but it doesn't always work like that. 'It also depends on what type of day you're already having when you read the message… I take it because it comes with it, with the limelight, like I said. But I'm human and I have feelings.' Life is changing for Green and Michele after he was traded to the Phoenix Suns by the Houston Rockets as part of the deal that moved Kevin Durant to Texas. 'This was my first time experiencing a trade,' Michele said. 'I just think, you know, as his girlfriend, my main responsibility is to support him wherever we were going.' She said they haven't found a home in Phoenix yet, but added: 'Phoenix is an amazing city. We were not disappointed with Phoenix at all. 'But I just need to be supportive of him and of the change and then just try to make things as smooth of a transition [as possible] for him, and not stressing him out with the worries of moving and all that. 'He's not gonna have to lift the finger. I'll handle all of that so that he can just relax and play basketball. Once he gets there, he won't have anything else to worry about. And that's just really what I try to focus on: keeping things convenient and easy for him.' Ahead of the playoffs with the Rockets last season, Green sent a message to the critics taunting him about his personal life. 'Leave my girl out I'm deactivating my shi for the playoffs,' he wrote, referencing his social media backout for the postseason. The Rockets went out of the playoffs in round one at the hands of Golden State Warriors.
