Polka Theatre has announced a new award to champion playwriting and the creation of work for young audiences.
The award is open to plays written for any range between the ages of 7 and 13 - ages identified by Polka as currently underserved by the wider theatre sector.
Scripts will be read anonymously; eligible scripts must not have been performed before, with the only exception being as part of a workshop or research and development process. The text must also be an original work that is not an adaptation of pre-existing material.
Writers at any stage of their career are encouraged to apply. Alongside the award, online masterclasses around writing for this age group will also be delivered.
