Open Call: International Radio Playwriting Competition 2018
International Radio Playwriting Competition 2018
Deadline: 31 Jan 2018
From the open call:
The competition is open to anybody over the age of 18 who is living outside of the UK, whether they’re a new or established writer. To apply entrants should submit a 53 minute long radio script on any subject they like. The winners receive an amazing prize – the chance to visit the UK and to see their play being recorded before it is broadcast on the BBC World Service. There is a third winner – for the most promising play from the shortlist – who will also travel to London and spend 2 weeks being mentored by BBC Radio Drama and BBC World Service.
Last year we received 1,000 entries from a record 112 countries. Writers from Papua New Guinea, the Phillipines, Brazil, Canada, Nigeria, India, Australia, South Africa, Jamaica and the USA all made the shortlist.
