The closing date for the BBC World Service and British Council International Radio Playwriting Competition 2009 is on 31 March 2009. Entries must consist of one-hour radio plays written by anyone living outside the UK. There are two first prizes: for the best play by a writer with English as their first language and for the best play by a writer with English as their second language. The winners will each receive £2500 sterling and a trip to London to see their play being recorded for broadcast on BBC World Service in the World Drama slot.
