The
Windsor Fringe is now accepting unpublished one-act plays from amateur
playwrights for its ninth Award. Three winning scripts will be selected
for performance in October during the 2012 Windsor Fringe Festival.
The winning writer will receive a £500 prize and The Windsor Fringe
will underwrite the staging of the work of the winner and the two runners-up
with selected directors.
Amateur playwrights only may enter, one script per entrant.
Plays must not have been previously performed, be the original work of
the entrant and be suitable for staging in a studio theatre with no more
than six actors.
Duration should be no more than 30 minutes in length.
Postal entries only; no submissions by email, no scripts returned.
BBC writersroom applicants will be granted a waiver of a £5 reading
fee if the words “Writers Room” appear in the top right- hand
corner of the cover page.
Three
short-listed author’s works will be performed on the final three
nights of The Windsor Fringe Festival during October.
An announcement of who is doing what will be made in mid-June 2012.
Rehearsals start at the beginning of August.
The winner will be announced after the last performance.
