Clwyd Theatr Cymru

Known as the Dickens of Wales, Daniel Owen was the first Welsh author to write in, and be published in, Welsh. Like Dickens, he also drew inspiration from the local people and places he knew and his characters spoke in their own, everyday, working voices. We want to hear the young voices of today. The theme for this year, celebrating both the 200^th Anniversary of Charles Dickens’ Birth and Daniel Owen will be:

The short listed entrants will be notified at the end of September. The winner will be announced at The Daniel Owen Festival October 2012 at an awards evening hosted by Clwyd Theatr Cymru. The short-listed works in both categories will be read by professional actors at the awards evening. The overall winner will receive a cash prize and an individual award to keep
