The 15th Papatango New Writing Prize is now open for entries!

Our friends at the Papatango Prize are open to applications. Emerging writers, get your scripts in for the chance to win a cash prize and have a full production in 2023.

The UK’s biggest annual playwriting opportunity guarantees feedback for all – an unrivalled investment in new writers everywhere. It awards its winner £7000, a full production & royalties in association with London’s Bush Theatre in spring 2024, and publication with Nick Hern Books. It also gives four shortlisted writers £500 each and a filmed reading, showcased worldwide on The Playwright’s Laboratory.

Free to enter, open to anyone in the UK/Ireland, and anonymously assessed, the Prize encapsulates Papatango’s motto: all you need is a story. www.papatango.co.uk/new-writing-prize
