GUIDELINES FOR PLAY SUBMISSION

• The plays should be inspired by the theme “Worlds Collide”
• Scripts may be a maximum of 10 pages in standard playwriting formats.
• Each playwright may submit up to two scripts.
• Please do NOT include the phrase “Worlds Collide” in the text of the play.
• FUSION exclusively mounts premiere productions of submitted plays. If the play has previously received a fully-mounted production, please do NOT submit. Plays that have been given public readings are allowable.
• Longer one-act or full-length plays will not be accepted for consideration.
• The first page of the manuscript must be a title page with full contact information. The second page should contain nothing but the title. These pages are in addition to the play's ten page maximum.
• Either PDF (Acrobat) or DOC (MS Word) files are acceptable.

Please ensure your script does not include any identifying information on any other page.

• The easiest and our preferred method of receiving scripts is via e-submission. There is a nominal charge of $5 to offset printing and distribution costs to do so. You may submit up to two scripts with this fee.

• You may also mail your submissions to:
FUSION Theatre Company
Attn: The Seven Submissions
700 1st St. NW
Albuquerque, NM 87102
There is no submission fee with this option.

• POSTMARKED DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: April 11, 2014.
• Entries will be acknowledged by e-mail once they have been received. Due to the volume of scripts we are unable to offer criticism or return any submissions.
• Do not place scripts in a binder or any other cover; we must disassemble to distribute copies to our judges. Simply use a staple or a binder clip to join the pages.
• The finalists and winning seven will be announced to the public on May 1, 2014.
