Alfred Fagon Award

Celebrating nine successful years as a presence in Black British Theatre, the Award is dedicated to providing inspiration and validation for playwrights of Caribbean descent, who are resident in the UK. Set up in memory of the late Jamaican playwright and actor Alfred Fagon, the Award seeks to discover a wide variety of writing talent.

In 2006 the winner will be awarded £5,000 in recognition of their outstanding achievement in the art of playwriting.

The closing date is 31 August 2006. Full details from the Talawa Theatre Company. Thanks to BBC Writersroom for the link.
