Live Theatre: The North East Playwriting Award
Deadline: Mon 7 Aug 2023
The inaugural North East Playwriting Award, presented by Live Theatre in partnership with The Catherine Cookson Charitable Trust, seeks to award commissions to two playwrights who are either from or based in the North East of England. The two commissioned plays will then be produced for Live Theatre’s stage.

The main award will offer one playwright a full-length commission fee of £10,000 and ensuing production on Live Theatre’s main stage.

A second commission award of £7,000 will be offered to a young playwright (16-25 years) to write an under-70 minute play.

These awards are open to writers who are either from or currently living in the North East of England.

The main award is open to anyone aged 16 and above.

The second award (Youth award) is exclusively for writers aged 16 to 25.

Both awards are open to writers at any level of experience.
