The National Drama Festivals Association (NDFA) was formed in 1964 to encourage and support amateur theatre in all its forms and in particular through the organisation of drama festivals. There are now 45 member festivals throughout the UK who between them organise 17 Full Length and 40 One Act festivals.
Each year, the NDFA organise the British All Winners Festival where the very best of British amateur theatre take part in a week-long celebration of theatre. The winners of all NDFA member festivals are eligible to be invited. The 37th British All Winners Festival will be held at the The Thameside Theatre in Grays, Essex from 25 - 31 July 2010.
The NDFA also sponsor a Playwriting Competition - the George Taylor Memorial Award. The objective of this competition is to promote new writing for the theatre. Adjudication is carried out by a panel of judges and the winners receive a certificate and a cash prize.
Membership of the NDFA is open to all Drama Festival Organisations and also to Theatre groups and individuals who are interested in taking part and supporting drama festivals throughout UK. Members receive an annual directory giving details of all member festivals and also a quarterly newsletter providing the latest information about festivals and other relevant news.
