SAfm is invited writers to explore the medium of sound (the theatre of the mind) to create a one hour radio play in English. SAfm is looking for new and original ideas that writers can bring to the airwaves. Plays must be specifically written for radio; stage plays or plays requiring adaption will not be considered.
There are no limits to the choice of topics or the style of writing: Comedy, tragedy, fable or folklore, social or domestic drama (slice of life) or what you will. There is no restriction on the number of entries which an author may submit.

Closing date of the competition is on the 28 February, 2015. The winners of this competition will be announced on SAfm on the 31st March, 2015.
