Entries are now open for Sydney Theatre Company’s 27th Patrick White Playwrights Award. This annual initiative is held in honour of Patrick White’s contribution to Australian theatre and to foster the development of Australian playwrights.
Every year, the Company invites playwrights to submit unproduced full-length plays for consideration by the New Work team as part of the Award. Following a rigorous reading and assessment process, a cash prize of $7,500 is given to one play that is original, artistically ambitious, and has a distinctive theatrical voice that could speak to an audience.
The closing date for entries to the Award is 9am AEDT Wed 16 Dec 2026.
Submission and more information in the link in bio.
