Music & Drama Education Awards 2020: Young Theatre Critic of the Year

The launch of a new award for a young theatre critic prompts Sarah Lambie into a chat with Lyn Gardner about what's involved in becoming an arts reviewer today

On 4 March 2020, the great and the good of the Music and Drama education worlds will gather at an exclusive London hotel for a star-spangled award ceremony celebrating the extraordinary talent, projects, organisations and products of this rich and diverse sector.

The Music & Drama Education Awards feature a number of categories for educational projects, but also reward individuals of all ages for exceptional work in these fields, and one of the awards for which I am particularly excited to be a judge is the Young Theatre Critic of the Year award.

Open to 16-24 year-olds from anywhere in the UK, this award will be given to a young person who shows extraordinary promise as a theatre critic. The simple application process to be considered for this award involves submitting a 350-word review of a theatre production of any kind, with the option to put forward a limited number of supporting materials.
