The award guarantees a professional, fully staged production of the winning play by Queensland Theatre Company. The program works by selecting three finalists for further development. Queensland Theatre Company will provide comprehensive workshops for each playwright with leading industry professionals and encourages the development of future drafts of the short-listed plays prior to final judging. The development process culminates in public readings of the selected plays. From the short-list of three plays, a panel of judges selects one winner. The creative development process continues through to the production of the winning play as part of Queensland Theatre Company’s main-stage season in 2009.
