Playwriting contests

Playwriting contests are competitions where playwrights submit original scripts for evaluation by judges. These contests aim to discover and promote talented writers, often offering cash prizes, publishing opportunities, or production rights as incentives. They typically have specific guidelines regarding submission format, theme, or length. Participating can provide visibility, credibility, and opportunities to have your work produced or recognized within the theater community. Contest entries are reviewed by panels of experts or industry professionals, and winners are announced after a selection process that assesses originality, craft, and potential for performance.
