Writers around the world are invited to write a one-hour radio play on any subject. You have five months to write your play and the winning entries will be broadcast on BBC World Service in autumn 2011.
There are two first prizes: one for writers for whom English is a first language, the other for those with English as a second language.
Last year, for the first time, English as a second language entries overtook the first language entries. The competition is unique in that it is only open to writers outside the UK. The winners – last year’s were from Ghana and USA – also receive a trip to London to see their play recorded.
This is the only competition of its kind in the world – it is at the heart of what BBC World Drama does. It’s about hearing new, different stories and voices and is a reminder of what a fantastic medium Radio Drama is…
This competition never fails to elicit an truly impressive response. Last year, more than 1100 entries were received.
Entries are welcome from published authors as well as from writers who are totally inexperienced. Former winners have gone on to write again for BBC World Service Drama, making the competition a potential launch-pad to a future career.
