Of boat people, curry-eaters, and a hot pot of cultural stew.
In line with Playback Theatre’s Encounters project, Writing the City invites you to submit a piece surrounding the theme of migrant stories.
See from the perspective of another. Imagine what it’s like to arrive on these shiny shores for the first time. What do you run from, and what would you hope for? Every character has a background story; weave it into your piece.

Write in any genre of your choosing as long as it is based on this theme. Our judges will be looking out for emotive pieces that bring the migrants’ story to the reader.
Winners will receive the following prizes:
