This award run in partnership with Nottingham Playhouse seeks to uncover new playwriting talent across the East Midlands. This is a unique partnership between one of the region’s leading producing theatres and a new writing touring company and is supported by Arts Council England. This competition will give writers the opportunity to begin a relationship with Fifth Word and Nottingham Playhouse which both have a proud history of staging new writing.

A Rehearsed Reading of their play as part of a celebration event at Nottingham Playhouse in September 2015
A 12 month attachment with Fifth Word based at Nottingham Playhouse
£2000 development money
A Mentor to provide support to write a new play whilst on attachment
‘Go and see budget’
Shadowing opportunities in productions with Fifth Word and Nottingham Playhouse
All entries will be read by a panel of artists and industry professionals .
