The Amstel Playwright of the Year Award was an independent non-governmental competition for new South African play texts.

Also referred to as Amstel Playwright of the Year or Amstel Playwright's Award

Aimed at encouraging new writing by South African playwrights (in all local languages) it was the brainchild of Nicholas Ellenbogen and sponsored by the Amstel Breweries, the competition was launched in South Africa in 1978 and eventually discontinued in 1994.

Besides the award(s) for the overall Winner (in some years there would be more than one), there was also a category Special Merit Award. (For a full list of all the winnners, see the entry on the Award in Wikipedia[1])
