Scriptroom 8 (Stage Plays) & The Writer's Prize for Radio - DEADLINE Monday 29th September

The BBC are delighted to announce that they will soon be opening for submissions for Scriptroom 8 (stage plays – comedy & drama) and this year’s Writer's Prize, for which we are looking for original, surprising multi-character narrative drama scripts of 45-75 minutes in length for Radio 3 or 4 (not monologues or adaptations).

The submission windows for both opportunities will open on 15th September and close on Monday 29th September and submission links will be available via the opportunities page on our website when we open.
