Rather than accepting scripts year-round, we have distinct submission windows for scripts which are announced on the BBC Writers Opportunities page during the year. Each Open Call has a deadline, following which the scripts received are assessed intensively by our script readers and the BBC Writers team, and a shortlist drawn up. We then offer various opportunities for the shortlisted group of writers including our Scripted and Voices development groups.
Open Call is open for submissions between Tuesday 4th November 2025 at noon and Tuesday 2nd December 2025 at noon. You can find full details of how to submit your entry here.
Deadline: 2 December 2025
