Scottish society of playwrights AT 50

Fellowship Awards

Ten SSP@50 Fellowship Awards, supported by Creative Scotland, were offered to innovative, inspiring, boundary-stretching projects that honoured, celebrated and promoted playwriting in Scotland. The Awards were open to established and emerging playwrights and theatre makers working in Scottish theatre.

About the SSP@50 Fellowship Awards

Each Fellow worked with a partnership organisation on projects which combined a focus on local community with a sector-wide perspective, and each project culminated in a public sharing of the work.

Each Fellow received:

  • A £4000 bursary
  • Project Producer support
  • Tailored personal support, which included:
  • Writing Space
  • Mentoring/Dramaturgical Support
  • Performance space
  • Technical support

​The SSP worked with the University of Glasgow’s Theatre Studies Department during the project, and Playwrights’ Studio, Scotland was pleased to support the Fellowship Awards by supporting Fellows, where desired, through the year with in-kind support for individual projects.
