The Downtown Urban Theater Festival (DUTF) is currently accepting submissions for its 11th annual season to be held at HERE (here.org) in SoHo, NYC February 25-March 17, 2013.

DUTF, produced by Creative Ammo Inc., is a three-week celebration of urban theatrical expression by a cross-section of playwrights. This annual event showcases theatrical works that echo the true spirit of urban life and speak to a whole new generation who lives defy categorizing along conventional lines. For more info about DUTF, visit us at www.dutfnyc.com and also check out their facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Downtown-Urban-Theater-Festival/152194641470752.

For 2013, DUTF will accept 15 theatrical works comprised of full-length productions (60-90 minutes) and shorts (under 45 minutes). Each work is performed only once during the festival. Three of the outstanding works produced during the festival will receive $1,000 awards in the categories of Best Play, Best Short and Audience.  There is no submission or participation fee and each playwright will receive a monetary production stipend at the start of the festival to defray some of the production costs.
