Projects
The audience votes, one writer takes the crown, and our winner chooses an R&D package to take their play to the next level.
But the love doesn't stop there. We’re keen to keep working with our other writers too, supporting readthroughs and further development
Because one winner is cute, but we want all the good shit to keep moving up!
