Thank you for your interest in ScriptFEST. The submission period of scripts for ScriptFEST 2012 will be August 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011.

Scripts postmarked before August 1st or after September 30th will not be eligible.

We welcome your submission and hope the following information will answer your questions. If you need more information, please call the SART business office at 828-689-1384.

New scripts of full-length plays and musicals in English that have not been published nor professionally produced. No One-Acts. No Children's Plays.
(Scripts that have gone through a developmental process or other readings are eligible. Scripts produced by amateur community theatres and/or educational theatres are eligible.)

Playwrights may submit only one title each submission period.
Excerpts and summaries will not be accepted without the FULL script.
No film or television scripts, translations or adaptations.
Adaptations of novels and short stories are acceptable. Adaptations of movies and stage scripts are not acceptable.
If you have submitted a particular title in a previous year, it may be submitted again if and only if you have made significant revisions to the script since it was last submitted. It would be best if you explained this in a cover letter so we wouldn't have to contact you for verification.
No scripts will be returned.

Submission requirements:

TWO "hard" copies of script on white paper are required. One or two-sided paper format is the author's choice. All pages must be standard 3-hole punched, or better yet, in a binder.
Synopsis Page(s) (optional) inserted directly behind the Title Page containing play synopsis, character descriptions, and other notes.
**Do not have the author's name and/or other identifying information anywhere on the title page, synopsis or pages of the script. If you do, your submission may not be accepted! **
Provide one additional and separate Title Page that includes the author's name, date, etc.
Author's Resume, or detailed background information.
If you include a cover letter, DO NOT include synopsis, notes, or other important information in the letter. Anything you want the reviewers to read must be included on the inserted synopsis page(s) of the scripts.

Other Information

Musicals should also include a score and/or a recording of at least four songs on cassette or CD. Only one score/recording is necessary.

If you wish notification of receipt of your submission, please include a postage-paid card for us to return to you.

SART will contact you by email if your submission is not chosen as a finalist. If you would prefer postal mail notification, you must provide a self-addressed stamped envelope with your submission.
