NATIONAL LATINX PLAYWRITING AWARD

web site

Submissions for the 2020 National Latinx Playwriting Award are now open. Latinx playwrights residing in the United States, its territories or Mexico are encouraged to submit scripts for the award.

Each script will be read and evaluated by a culturally diverse panel of theatre artists; finalists will be judged by ATC artistic staff.

Submission Procedure

We respectfully ask that you adhere to the following application requirements:

  • Submit a single script via U.S. mail.
  • Scripts must be postmarked by November 1, 2019. 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).
  • Include a cover letter of no more than one page, describing the play’s developmental history, and how the play fits into the playwright’s broader career trajectory.


Submit manuscripts to:

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.
