The joint winners of the Stewart Parker Trust Major Bursary for 2013 were Kate Heffernan for In Dog Years I'm Dead (Mirari Productions) and Genevieve Hulme-Beaman for Pondling (Ramblinman/Gúna Nua).  The winner Stewart Parker Trust/BBC Radio Drama Award is Mikel Murfi for The Man in the Woman's Shoes.  The
BBC Northern Ireland Irish Language Drama Award went to Macdara Ó Fatharta, whose most recent play An Tíoránach Drogallach, is an adaptation of Tom Murphy’s The Last Days of a Reluctant Tyrant produced by An Taibhdhearc and Galway Arts Festival. The winners were announced at a ceremony at The Lyric Theatre on 9th April 2014, hosted by BBC Northern Ireland, and the awards were presented by Stephen Rea and Aodan Mac Poilin. In addition to the bursaries, all shortlisted writers are invited to participate in a residential playwrights' workshop at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in May 2014, supported by the Trust.

In new initiative introduced at the Awards ceremony, Anne Makower of the Board of the Tyrone Guthrie Centre,  Annaghmakerrig, announced the first recipient of the Brian Friel Guthrie Fellowship. This Fellowship is named in honour of Brian Friel, who in 1963 was invited by Tyrone Guthrie to spend time observing the theatrical process at the Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis, resulting in Philadelphia, Here I Come! and other subsequent worldwide successes. This Fellowship will enable an emerging Irish playwright take part in a residency at the Guthrie  Theater later this year, under the mentorship of Joe Dowling. With the help of the Stewart Parker Trust, this Fellowship is being awarded to Nancy Harris, author of No Romance (Abbey Theatre, Winner of Stewart Parker New Playwright Bursary, 2012) and Our New Girl (Bush Theatre, London, 2013 and opening at Atlantic Theater New York, 2014).


The Stewart Parker Trust New Playwright Bursary for 2012 was awarded to playwright Mark Cantan and was presented by President Michael D. Higgins at a ceremony at The Abbey Theatre on April 30, 2013.

The BBC Northern Ireland Radio Drama Award was presented to Karen Ardiff and the BBC Northern Ireland Irish Language Drama Award was presented
to Máiréad Ní Chróinín for Tromlui Phinocchio.
