Playwrights B4 25

Playwrights b4 25, offered by Playmarket in partnership with Auckland Live, has a proven track record of nurturing young writers to successful seasons of their work — you could be next. For this annual competition we are looking for writers under 25 who take risks and throw care to the wind, as well as those who write strong, conventional plays.

There are absolutely no restrictions on style or content, whether it's a full length monologue or an epic for a cast of thousands, a comedy, or a gritty urban tragedy, we're interested in what you have to say. Write about anything you like, in any way you like, for any kind of audience you like.

Submissions close annually on 1 April.
