LiveWire established VisionFest in 2008 as a community-driven festival featuring new, unique guidelines each year chosen by a public vote. Each year, we choose 6 to 10 plays to present at the festival. Programs are provided with ample space for the audience to offer feedback to the playwrights on their piece.
PLAY SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN!
Plays must deal with technology's influence on society (or what happens when things short circuit). Submissions were open to local, regional, national and international playwrights.
- Only original material may be submitted.
- LiveWire will ONLY be accepting online submissions. Submissions should be sent to visionfest@livewirechicago.com.
- Submissions should be formatted as a PDF (.pdf) or Word Doc (.doc) with the title of the play as the name of the file (i.e., My-Awesome-Play.doc).
- Do not include playwrights' name on any of the pages in the document.
- In the body of the email, please include: Playwrights' Name, Title of Play, Email Address, Phone Number and Current City of Residence.
- Submissions open Jan 15 through Apr 15. (Any submissions sent outside of these dates will be discarded.)
- Plays must be between 1 to 10 minutes in length; 1 to 10 pages depending on density of material. (Any scripts over 10 minutes will be discarded.)
- One submission per playwright will be considered.
