Herman Voaden Playwriting Competition

The Herman Voaden Playwriting Competition is a biennial literary award, presented by Queen's University to plays by Canadian playwrights. The award was created in 1997, funded by a bequest to the university by the late playwright Herman Voaden.

The competition awards a first prize of $3,000 and a second prize of $2,000. In addition to the cash prizes, both the first and second prize winners receive workshop productions of their play at the Thousand Islands Playhouse. Honourable mentions are also given.
