The only global competition for radio playwrights is being opened for entries today and to submit a script is free. The BBC World Service International Radio Playwriting Competition offers a unique opportunity for writers from all around the globe to use the immense power of radio drama to tell the stories that matter to a world audience. BBC World Service and the British Council run the competition in partnership with Commonwealth Writers.
Now in its 24th year, the International Radio Playwriting Competition is expanding to include an additional prize, the Georgi Markov award (1929-1978), in honour of the writer, broadcaster and World Service journalist. The new award is being presented in collaboration with new co-producers The Open University and honours the script from the shortlist which shows most promise.
'Commonwealth Writers is very excited to be associated with this year’s competition,' said Lucy Hannah, Programme Manager at the Commonwealth Foundation. 'We look forward to promoting the shortlisted and winning writers and to working with them to inspire less heard voices from across the globe.'
