The Spotlight Prize
Our annual showcase, previously known as the Rodney Millington Award.
What is the Spotlight Prize?

The Spotlight Prize gives drama school graduates the chance to demonstrate their talents to a room full of industry professionals.

 

Each year, over 70 drama schools and universities are invited to nominate a student from their graduating class, and a panel of industry experts selects the finalists based on the quality of their self-tape audition. Each finalist performs a screen piece (recorded in advance) and a stage piece on the night of the showcase. Two awards are then presented for the best Stage and Screen performance.

 

Find out more about the history of the Spotlight Prize, and how it evolved from the Rodney Millington Award into what it is today.
