One Act Playwriting Competition

 

Dear Playwrights
 
I am very sorry to have to inform you that there will be no DAW One Act Playwriting Competition this year.
 
We have attempted to continue with our services and writing initiatives under the difficult circumstances that many arts organisations have found themselves in due to the lack of funding and support from the Arts Council of Wales. Unfortunately, it was felt that the Playwriting Competition, among certain other projects and initiatives, could not take place this year.
 
I do hope - and it must be said I am hopeful - that after this period of uncertainty, the Drama Association of Wales will reinstate what has been an extremely popular, positive and fruitful initiative.
 
Please keep in touch with the Association, as you will be informed of any changes to policy and the Drama Association of Wales looks forward to working with you in the future.

Official Statement (as on DAW website www.dramawales.org.uk)
 
It is with sincere regret that the Executive Board of the Drama Association of Wales have had to enter into a period of consultation regarding redundancies of the staff of the Association.
 
As we are sure members are aware, the Drama Association of Wales lost all funding from the Arts Council of Wales two years ago.  We are very proud that we have managed to maintain the business since this time and are very grateful to members for their ongoing support.
 
The board is committed to continuing the work of the Association; we are striving to secure further funding and can assure you that business will continue as normal during this difficult time.

------------------

With every good wish for the future. Thank you for sending your work to us.
 
Teresa
