Playmarket's annual Brown Ink development programme looks for the best new and original work by Māori and Pasifika writers.

The programme offers two plays a development workshop with a professional script advisor, and actors dedicated to helping develop the play.

Plays selected for development for Brown Ink that have gone to professional productions include The Mooncake and the Kumara by Mei Lin Hansen, Girl on a Corner by Victor Rodger, Officer 27 by Aroha Awarau, I Ain't Mad At Cha by Turene Jones and Au Ko Tuvalu by Tavita Nielsen-Mamea.

Submissions can only be entered into this programme once and you may enter a maximum of three scripts. Plays entered under this programme may have been previously produced but may not be currently receiving other development assistance.

The judges' decisions are final.
