第 28 屆國際廣播劇創作大賽現邀請世界各地的作家提交他們的劇本，該大賽現已開放報名。

投稿主題：

We are looking for entries in two categories: English as a First Language and English as a Second Language. The two first prizes can come from either category.
我們正在尋找兩個類別的條目：英語作為第一語言和英語作為第二語言。兩個一等獎可以來自任一類別。

投稿期間：

~ 2023/2/12
投稿條件：

1. Entry is only open to anyone who at 12 February 2023 is (a) over the age of 18 and (b) not considered to be a resident of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Channel Islands or Isle of Man (“UK”). Professional and previously published writers are eligible to enter, but this is not a requirement of entry. We may require proof of eligibility.
2. Entrants should write a radio play of approximately fifty three minutes’ length on any subject of their choice.
3. The entrants warrant, by submitting plays, that each play:
a) is the original work of the entrants
b) is not an adaptation of an earlier work (for example, a novel)
c) will not have been professionally produced in any medium (an informal play-reading is acceptable; a play-reading with a professional director and in front of a non-paying audience is acceptable, but a performance involving payment to actors and/or a paying audience is not) before 31 March 2024
d) will not have been offered for publication, performance or broadcast or produced in any other form or medium to any other person or company before 31 March 2024, and
e) will not have been entered for any other competition before 31 March 2024.
A breach of these warranties will result in disqualification from the competition.
4. All scripts submitted must be approximately 53 minutes in length – this usually equates to a minimum of 45 pages of A4 paper (or equivalent) and a maximum of 65 pages (note, a rough guide is a minute per page; please read and time your play before you send it). The play should have a maximum of six central characters (there may be up to 3 small “doubling” characters too, who don’t have more than a few lines each). There must be no central roles for children. Word count approx. 9000-10000 words.
5. Your script should be accompanied by a short synopsis which outlines the complete story of the play. This must be no more than 400 words.
6. There are two categories for entry. One is for entrants who speak English as a first language, and the other is for entrants with English as a second language. The BBC may require proof of eligibility for the selected category before announcing a winner. For translated entries, it is the responsibility of the entrant to ensure that the translated script fully complies with these rules and entry requirements, and the entrant must have the right to enter into a contract on the translator or translators’ behalf as per Rule 14. No additional payment can be made by the BBC for translations.
7. The play must be written substantially or entirely in English. Unfortunately, we do not have the facility to offer a translation service. Entries that have been translated must acknowledge this fact by giving a credit to the translator or translators. Entries that have been translated will be entered in the English as a first language category.
1. 僅向 2023 年 2 月 12 日 (a) 年滿 18 歲且 (b) 不被視為大不列顛及北愛爾蘭聯合王國、海峽群島或馬恩島居民的任何人開放（ “英國”）。專業和以前發表過的作家有資格進入，但這不是進入的要求。我們可能需要資格證明。

2. 參賽者應就他們選擇的任何主題撰寫一部時長約為 53 分鐘的廣播劇。

3. 參賽者通過提交劇本保證每個劇本：

a) 是參賽者的原創作品
b) 不是對早期作品的改編（例如，小說）
c) 不會以任何媒體專業製作（可以接受非正式的遊戲閱讀；遊戲閱讀由專業導演在非付費觀眾面前表演是可以接受的，但涉及向演員和/或付費觀眾付費的表演則不能）在 2024 年 3 月 31 日之前
d) 將不會被提供出版、表演或廣播，或在 2024 年 3 月 31 日之前以任何其他形式或媒介向任何其他人或公司製作，並且
e) 在 2024 年 3 月 31 日之前不會參加任何其他比賽。

違反這些保證將導致取消比賽資格。

4. 提交的所有稿件的長度必須約為 53 分鐘——這通常相當於至少 45 頁 A4 紙（或同等紙）和最多 65 頁（注意，粗略的指南是每頁一分鐘；請閱讀並在發送之前為您的遊戲計時）。該劇最多應該有六個中心人物（也可能有最多 3 個小的“加倍”人物，每個人物的台詞不超過幾行）。不能讓孩子扮演中心角色。字數大約 9000-10000 字。

5. 您的劇本應附有簡短的提要，概述該劇的完整故事。字數不得超過 400 字。

6. 參賽作品分為兩類。一種適用於以英語為第一語言的參賽者，另一種適用於以英語為第二語言的參賽者。在宣布獲勝者之前，BBC 可能會要求提供所選類別的資格證明。對於已翻譯的參賽作品，參賽者有責任確保翻譯後的劇本完全符合這些規則和參賽要求，並且參賽者必須有權根據規則 14 代表譯者簽訂合同。 BBC 不能為翻譯支付額外費用。

7. 劇本必須大部分或全部用英文寫成。不幸的是，我們沒有提供翻譯服務的設施。已翻譯的條目必須承認這一事實，並給予譯者或譯者的榮譽。已翻譯的條目將以英語作為第一語言類別輸入。
