Your chance to have a short radio play produced and broadcast
This year, we've linked up with Chapel FM to bring you another fun radio drama competition. Three winning scripts will be produced in January 2021 by Peter Spafford and Tony Macaluso at Chapel FM using professional actors.
All three plays will then be broadcast on Chapel FM as part of their Writing On Air festival, alongside the winning entries from our 2019 radio competition.

Introducing our professional judge
We're thrilled to have brilliant BBC radio producer Gaynor Macfarlane on board for this year's competition. After the submission deadline, we'll draw up a shortlist of nine plays to send her, from which she'll select the three she thinks make best use of the radio medium.
Gaynor has been producing radio drama for the BBC for about 20 years, so we couldn't have wished for a better script selector! She's also worked as a theatre director, literary manager, translator and dramaturg, and has recently made her first forays into film directing.
THE BRIEF
- Write a 5-minute radio play
- Use up to 3 characters
- The theme is 'vision'
- Submit your entry to: [email protected]
- Deadline: 15th September 2020
NB: You must be a paid-up member of Script Yorkshire to enter.
