SO YOU WANT TO READ SOME PLAYS WITH US?

Firstly, let's acknowledge how awesome you are for even entertaining this. We can't do this contest without a committed group of VOLUNTEER script readers. So, thank you very much helping us financially and artistically support artists from around the world. THANK YOU!

​

YOUR PARTICIPATION

Readers will need to have a little bit of free time -- approximately 2 hours per day to read the plays. Readers will receive a maximum of twenty (20) scripts once a day. Readers then score each script based on a few factors. These scripts will be delivered blind — meaning you will NOT know the name of the playwright and (unless you tell folks, or allow us to tell folks) the playwrights will not know your names. Scores will be tabulated and the highest scoring script will be awarded. 

 

CAN YOU PARTICIPATE AS A WRITER AND BE A READER?

YES!!!

You can’t score your own work (obviously) and because it’s all blind, we’re ethically okay if you win. We not only encourage you to write, we'd love it. To learn more about being a participant, click here.
