Bruntwood Playwriting Competition: major prizes!
I’ve mentioned this before, but the details are now out about the The Bruntwood Playwriting Competition for the Royal Exchange.
It’s an amazing opportunity for budding playwrights. It’s completely anonymous so you’ve got just as good (or bad) as chance as anyone else.
There are a few rules eg piece original and unperformed, you have to be over 18 and living in the UK/Ireland, but not many.
£15,000 as a First Prize, a Second Prize of £10,000 and Third Prize of £5000. There is also a Regional Award for those living in the North West (£5000), an Under 26 Award (£5000), and a bursary for a promising writer to have a year’s residency at the Royal Exchange Theatre. In addition to the prize money, the winning play or plays should be produced as part of the Manchester International Festival.

I hope to enter something. If you’ve needed some incentive to get writing, this could be it.
The deadline is 30 April 2006.
