Co-Artistic Directors Mark Barford, Connor Delves and Jillian Geurts open submissions for the Australian Theatre Festival NYC 2022 New Play Award.
Co-Artistic Directors Mark Barford, Connor Delves and Jillian Geurts today announced the Australian Theatre Festival NYC 2022 New Play Award. The award is generously sponsored by Shane & Cathryn Brennan.
Barford, Delves and Geurts expressed:
We are thrilled to announce that we are producing the New Play Award for a third consecutive year. With the continued building of this unique award, we hope to engage even more Australian playwrights with this opportunity and look forward to receiving entries from around the world. The award exists to help fulfill our mission of celebrating and showcasing Australian plays and artists in New York City, and we are very grateful to our award sponsors, Shane and Cathryn Brennan, for helping us to make this happen.
Now in its third year, the Australian Theatre Festival NYC 2022 New Play Award will celebrate two new plays with distinct Australian voices.
The award offers a total cash prize of $7,500 USD for two unproduced, full-length plays written by Australian playwrights, over the age of 18.
This year we will award one winner with $5,000 USD and one runner-up with $2,500 USD. The winning play will be developed with ATF Co-Artistic Director Mark Barford and presented in New York City as part of The Australian Theatre Festival NYC.
Last year, our 2020 winning play ‘The Tiniest Thing’ by Richard Jordan, was produced as the centerpiece of our festival program. The 2021 winner was Lewis Treston for his play ‘Hubris & Humiliation’, with Yvette Walker named runner-up for ‘Seven Deadly Gins’. Lewis’ play will be presented this year as a part of our 2022 Festival.

I was just wondering whether the Australian Theatre Festival NYC will have access and rights to the play and be entitled to produce it, or will I still have rights and ownership of the play and what happens to it?
Thank you, and thank you for this opportunity,
Kind regards,
