Radio Playwriting Competition
November 3rd, 2008 by Erin
The BBC in partnership with the British Arts Council has launched the 11th International Radio Playwriting competition. The play should be approximately 60 minutes in length, and submitted in English. The competition is open to anyone who is not a resident of the UK. The deadline is not until March 31st 2009, so there’s plenty of time to get writing.
Thanks Rebecca for the tip!
I’m really interested in radio plays these days. It’s such a wonderful medium for storytelling. I think, unfortunately, the BBC might be the only major network that’s still regularly producing radio dramas.
The CBC was well known for their production of radio plays back in the forties and fifties. The run was called The Stage Series and it brought critical acclaim to the network for decades. I’m trying to get my hands on a few. Definitely new fodder for me to sink my teeth into (research and writing wise).
