Play Submission Guidelines:

Plays must be written by an Appalachian playwright (currently living in the Appalachian Mountains which, for our purposes, run from New York State to Alabama)
OR the plays must contain Appalachian settings and themes.

Full-length plays are preferred. Please submit the full script and an SASE if you wish your play returned. No E-mail submissions, please.

The writers of the selected plays will be provided with housing and transportation in order to attend the reading of their play.

The playwrights of the six selected plays will each receive $250 plus transportation and housing for two nights (the day before and the day of the reading).

The winner of the AFPP will receive $500 and second place will receive $250.

Plays must be received by March 31, 2011. Plays may be sent to address below.
