The deadline for the 2011 Award has passed.
Details about the 2012 Award and application guidelines will be posted in November 2011.
If you are intending to apply for the Award please contact the OSBTT with details of any current or future work that they may see.
Eligibility
The successful applicant is likely to have had some professional theatre experience — i.e., at least two or three fringe, or similar scale, productions — behind them. Applicants are expected to be at the stage in their career where they can demonstrably benefit from moving onto a fully resourced and funded production in a non-conventional space.
Those who are or have been recipients of fixed-term funding will not be eligible; neither will those in full-time education.
Applicants must be citizens of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland (namely, holders of a British or Republic of Ireland passport) and be resident in one of these countries.
Artists from all disciplines are encouraged to apply.
Shows with a previous production history (excluding Research and Development work) will not be considered.
"This Award offers a very rare opportunity for a young and visionary theatre-making team to pursue and complete a project about which they are passionate. The Trust seeks out artists who are prepared to throw away the rule book in order to find the most vivid theatrical language for the stories they want to tell."
