The World Sinophone Drama Competition for Young Playwrights is open to young writers (age 18 to 36) worldwide. It accepts scripts written in either Chinese or English.

Since 2015, the winning plays have been staged in more than ten cities around the globe (Taipei, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Macau, Vancouver, New York, Nanjing, Beijing, Shanghai, Monterrey and Mexico City) and published as bi-lingual E-books, to encourage production of new dramatic works that reflect upon global Chinese culture from a variety of perspectives and enrich our understanding of Sinophone cultures, circulations, histories, and communities.

The 5th WSDC is now open for the submission from 15 Aug. 2020. We especially seek new works of hybridized cultural and dramatic aesthetics that will add new voices to Sinophone theatre and further invigorate the already diverse field of global Sinophone cultures.
