INK Festival 2026: Call for submissions
Deadline: Fri 26 Sep 2025
INK Festival are now accepting submissions for the 2026 Festival - an exciting opportunity for writers to showcase bold, original storytelling on stage. Whether you're an emerging writer or an experienced playwright, we want to read your work.

Submissions should be original short plays written for the stage, with the potential to be performed as part of the festival. We’re particularly interested in scripts that are fresh, thought-provoking, and well-suited to small-cast productions.

We welcome submissions from writers of all ages and levels of experience. As part of our commitment to inclusivity and representation, we particularly encourage submissions from people from the Global Majority, D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people, LGBTQ+ communities, and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds or other underrepresented groups.

Open to anyone resident in the UK and Ireland, and to UK and Irish nationals living abroad

Entries must be new writing or never professionally performed in the UK.
