Limit of two entries per playwright of an original work that has not been published or produced.

Monologues and one man/woman plays are not accepted.

All genres are accepted (light comedies, heavy dramas, thrillers, mystery, sci-fi, satire) with no regard to language or subject matter.

All plays should be approximately 20 minutes long, no exceptions. (If using standard play format a good gauge is 17-22 pages, excluding title page).

There is no maximum limit of characters or sets, but common sense should be used as 5 plays will be produced in one evening.
