Gibraltar Cultural Services (GCS), on behalf of the Ministry of Culture, has announced that the Gibraltar International Drama Festival will take place at the Ince’s Hall Theatre from Monday 23rd to Saturday 28th March 2026. 

The festival is open to any drama group, and the plays will be adjudicated by a member of the Guild of Drama Adjudicators UK. Non-competitive entries will also be accepted. 

The Group winning the “Best Play” Award will receive a cash prize of £1,000. Additional awards include Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, amongst others. As a member of the National Drama Festival Association, we now have the opportunity to compete at the National Drama Festival UK and will offer a Bursary if the winning play is successful in qualifying. 

A small grant will be payable to each participating group, to assist with production expenses. 

Participants can sign up for the Gibraltar Drama Festival by completing the online Google Form here. Full rules and guidelines are available at www.culture.gi/forms. 

The closing date for entries is Monday 15th December 2025.
