Please include a title page on the script that includes the play's title, the author's name and contact information (including a phone number, mailing address and email) on the front page.

The award is open to all Latino playwrights currently residing in the United States, its territories, or Mexico.

Full-length and one-act plays (minimum length, 50 pages) on any subject will be accepted.
