Entries are now being called for the 2011 One-Act Playwriting Competition.
Now in it's 34th year, the Noosa Arts Theatre National One-Act Playwriting Competition attracts entries from playwrights right throughout Australia, and offers a total Prize pool of $5,000, and a Publishing Contract.
This playwriting competition offers a unique opportunity for the winning Playwrights to see their new work performed on stage at Noosa Arts One-Act Play Festival, for a 7 performance season over 2 weeks each June.
The winner of Best Play will take home a prize of $2,500.
During the seven days of the Festival, the audience are asked each night to vote for the ‘Audience Choice Award', with prize money (donated by the family of the late Nancy Cato) plus a publishing contract for their winning script, with Maverick Musicals & Plays.
Presentations of Awards take place on the final night.
The Best Play, and the Audience Choice winning plays, will also be performed during the Noosa Long Weekend festival in June.
The Competition and Festival are proudly supported by the Sunshine Coast Council Grants Program, Macquarie Private Wealth, and Maverick Musicals & Plays.
A word from a 2009 finalist:
"I wish to convey my thanks to Liza Park and the actors that presented the play reading of Persons of Mass Destruction last Thursday evening. I thought that the reading was most professional and went down well with the audience. It was very good for me to see and hear it.
I would also like to thank the Noosa Arts Theatre for running the one-act play competition which is a good opportunity to have script writers work read and evaluated. I appreciated the opportunity to see the three winning plays for 2010. To me the plays were all very good and very professionally presented and performed." Frank Rotherham
