RBC Tarragon Emerging Playwrights’ Competition
As part of our mandate to seek out and nurture new and vital voices, Tarragon Theatre, with the generous support of RBC Foundation, is pleased to announce the third annual RBC Tarragon Emerging Playwrights’ Competition. The purpose of this competition is to offer emerging Canadian playwrights the opportunity to receive financial support to further develop their plays, benefit from working with artists skilled in new play development, and gain national recognition for their writing.
RBC Emerging Artists Project
Now in its third year, the competition has been substantially revamped. Unlike the previous two years, there is no age limit associated with this competition: it is geared towards emerging playwrights, regardless of age, with less than five years professional theatrical writing experience.
We have also added a new component to the prize: The winner of this competition will still receive a cash award of $3000 and the opportunity to showcase their play in Tarragon Theatre’s Play Reading Week. In addition to this, the winner will receive a year’s worth of dramaturgical support from Tarragon Theatre through regular meetings, in person or by phone/Skype, with Tarragon’s literary manager.
All application packages must arrive at Tarragon Theatre by Friday, April 29, 2011 at 5:00 pm.
Please read the Contest Guidelines carefully. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
