Call for submissions to The Hugh Leonard Writer's Bursary
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council are calling for submissions to The Hugh Leonard Writer's Bursary 2007. The Bursary, which has a maximum total budget of a €10,000, will be awarded to a mid-career writer (a playwright, TV and film writer, fiction or non-fiction writer).
Writers need to submit a specific proposal as to how the bursary would be used and particularly, how it would support his/her professional development. Selection will be made by way of an open submission competition.
The Bursary was established to celebrate Leonard's many achievements and the significant contribution he made to Irish theatre, TV and film, both here and abroad and to mark the special relationship between Leonard and his home-place of Dalkey.
The closing date for receipt of applications is 5pm, Thursday 27th September 2007.
For further information on the Hugh Leonard Bursary and how to apply please contact Claire Power, DLR Arts Office, from 6th September, 2007.
