A playwriting competition for Northern writers!
This Award is for playwrights from the North of England who are yet to have a full-length play performed professionally.
Past winners include Peter Straughan (BAFTA & Oscar-winner for ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’), Carina Rodney (Audible, BBC Radio 4, Live Theatre) and Alison Carr (National Theatre, Finalist: Women’s Prize for Playwriting, BBC Radio 4).
One winning script will be chosen for a six-night production by us in May 2025 in our Studio Theatre, and the writer will receive a cash prize of £1,000.
The judges for the competition are looking for a new full-length play on any subject, for a cast of any age or gender.
Don’t worry about how old you are or much experience you have – the Award is open to everyone with a story to tell.

Deadline: 30 September 2024
