Submission window for ATC’s National Latine Playwrights Award 2025 is now open

Website

Deadline: October 31, 2024

Latine 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.

The winner of the National Latine Playwrights Award will receive $2,500. 

Full-length and longer one-act plays with a minimum of 50 pages on any subject will be accepted. The winner will be notified by Spring 2025.

Eligibility

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

Scripts may be in English, Spanish, or a combination of the two (Spanish scripts must be accompanied by an English translation).

Plays must be unpublished, professionally unproduced, and not currently under option at the time of submission.

Full-length and one-act plays, with a minimum length of 50 pages, on any subject will be accepted.

Scripts

The physical scripts become the property of Arizona Theatre Company and will not be returned. In this case, “property” means the physical property of the theatre, not the intellectual property or any rights to the play.

Application requirements include:

• Submissions of a single script can be sent via email to NLPA@atc.org.

• 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.
