The Play Lottery is a playwriting contest for writers based anywhere in the UK, with a twist – the winning play is chosen entirely at random.
Submissions are open for UK-based playwrights to submit a play with up to 2 performers. The winning play will be chosen randomly and will receive a share of profits with a minimum guarantee of £30, feedback from professional dramaturgs, and their show being staged as part of a bimonthly performance night at the Libra Theatre Café in Camden.
More information and the submission form can be found at www.theplaylottery.com
The submission deadline for the December Play Lottery is 12 noon on Tuesday 10th October.
Deadline: 10 October 2025
