The DAN School of Drama and Music at Queen’s University in partnership with Kingston WritersFest is proud to announce the 2021 Competition for the Herman Voaden National Playwrighting Prize.
This biennial, nation-wide, open competition, named to honour the Canadian pioneer playwright Herman Voaden is judged blind, meaning the judges select the Winners and Honourable Mentions without knowing the identity of the playwrights.
The First Prize-winning playwright will receive a professional three-day workshop of the script in September 2021 at Queen’s University. In addition, the DAN School of Drama and Music, in partnership with Kingston WritersFest, will offer a public staged reading of the winning play, followed by a talk-back session, as part of the programming of the 2021 Kingston WritersFest.
