21st Women’s Work Festival – DEADLINE: 2026/07/19

Submissions for the 21st Annual Women’s Work Festival in March 2027 are now open!

They are accepting submissions in two programs:

Annual Dramaturgical Workshops: Their flagship festival is designed for playwrights with plays that are in the final/advanced stages of development and/or are almost ready for production. The focus is on refining existing drafts through intensive dramaturgical support and audience feedback.

The Playwriting Lab: This program is specifically for playwrights with plays in their early stages of development, including those with a complete first draft that still requires significant development. It offers a structured environment for a cohort of playwrights to develop their drafts with the support of a facilitator.

As always, Women's Work Festival is committed to promoting work by, for, and about women and people of other marginalized genders, and proudly support intersectional voices.

For more information and how to apply, please visit their website: https://www.womensworkfestival.ca/festival-submissions.html

The deadline for submissions is July 19th, 2026, at 11:59pm NDT.
