Radio-play writers in-the-making have a chance to have their work reviewed by an international jury and performed on air, as well as a potential prize of €3,500, in Radio 100.7’s radio play competition for 2017. 

Under the theme of “Great Expectations,” writers are asked to explore our post-war world and the hopes and aspirations of those who may be drifting back towards the conditions that created the last pan-European conflict. 

The contest is open to all authors in Luxembourg and the surrounding Greater Region. All literary genres are allowed, on condition that the entries can be transformed into a radio production. Manuscripts may be submitted in Luxembourgish, German, French or English before the deadline on 1 October 2017. Collective works are allowed as well. 

The jury is chaired by Mr. Claude Mangen, programme coordinator of Radio 100.7, who is joined by Astrid Alexandre, cultural editor at Radiotelevisiun Svizra Rumantscha in Switzerland, Olivier Garofalo, script editor at Theater Bamberg in Germany, Anette Kührmeyer, head of artistic word/radio play SR 2 cultural radio in Germany, Carole Lorang, director and president of the Theater Federatioun Luxembourg, and Sebastian Thiltges, post-doctoral fellow and scientific collaborator at the University of Saarland.

The decision and the award ceremony will take place in autumn 2017, and the winning work will be produced and aired by Radio 100.7.
