We’re excited to launch a new Climate Playwriting Prize in partnership with our friends at the Shakespeare’s Globe and Fern Culture, championing playwrights who engage with the nature and climate crisis and uncovering the most exciting new works in this space.
With this prize, we aim to empower the theatre industry into new climate conversations, drawing on the skills of storytellers and artists to inspire societal shifts towards a restorative relationship with our environment. The winning playwright will receive £15,000 and dramaturgical support to develop the play.
Submissions will open in June, and close on 1 September 2026. Winners will be announced in Autumn 2026. Further terms and conditions will be available on the Climate Playwriting Prize website.
The judges for the Prize will be announced at a later date.

Deadline: 1st September 2026
