The Tom McGrath Trust is set up to honour the life and legacy of Tom McGrath, poet, playwright and creative maverick, who died in 2009. Inspired by Tom’s boundless generosity of spirit and his passion for supporting Scottish playwrights, the Trust aims to be a source of inspiration, stimulation and support for artists seeking to develop their craft.
The main focus of the Tom McGrath Trust is supporting playwrights and translators working in Scotland. The two different support awards are Small Grants Awards and the Maverick Award.
THE 2016 MAVERICK AWARD
In memory of Tom’s well-loved traits as a maverick, inquisitor and explorer, The Tom McGrath Trust, with the Saltire Society, is delighted to be running The Maverick Award for the third year in 2016.
The award will offer up to £2000 for the best application for a new project, with writing at its heart, that departs from the routine and starts to explore new and imaginative possibilities. There will also be a runners up prize of £1000.
Winners will be announced at the Saltire Society on Wednesday 26 October 2016.
