The 2025 Griffin Award and Keynote

The prestigious Griffin Award is one of Australia’s premier playwriting competitions.

Every year, hundreds of playwrights vie for the award that set Suzie Miller and Prima Facie on its remarkable trajectory to the West End and Broadway.

Join us for a keynote from leading Australian playwright Leah Purcell (The Drover’s Wife) alongside readings from three exceptional award finalists. The winner of the Griffin Award will receive $17,700 thanks to the generosity of the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund.
