Bruntwood Playwriting Competition

Bruntwood and The Royal Exchange Theatre have launched The Second Bruntwood Playwriting Competition.

The competition is open to writers of all experience aged 18 and over from throughout the UK and Ireland.

Anonymous selection allows both novices and professionals to compete alongside each other under pseudonyms. The competition is absolutely inclusive and open to all.

Winning writers will be rewarded with a share in the £35,000 prize fund and have their work considered for production by the Royal Exchange. In addition, leading UK independent theatre publishers, Nick Hern Books, will publish winning plays that receive a production at the Exchange.

The deadline for entries is 13 June 2008, and the winner will be announced in October 2008.
