The Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting is the search for great new plays and great writers. It is Britain’s biggest playwriting competition and has so far awarded £120,000 in prize money.
The Bruntwood is open to anyone aged 16 or over living in the UK or Ireland. Scripts are submitted anonymously so we can judge them equally. Don’t worry if you are new to writing, this website has all kinds of ideas and support to help you write.
Entries have closed for the 2011 Prize but the next competition will open for entries at the start of 2013. To find out more about the Prize, click here.
