If you or someone you love is suffering from playwright-itis, help is near! The 2009 Prague Post Playwriting Contest is now accepting submissions!

**** Entries need to be received by NOVEMBER 7th. ****

We have updated the rules for the contest and made the written format of the play stricter. Entries which do not conform to the format WILL NOT BE READ, so please, please follow the guidelines. Examples of proper format will be up at the www.praguepost.com/playcontest website (if they are not already). The formatting rules are as follows:

“Entries must be formatted using standard play formatting. The font should be 12pt Times New Roman. There is to be a title page and a page with a character and scene breakdown. There is to be a line break between lines of dialogue. The plays are to be 30 minutes long which corresponds to 10 – 20 pages. Plays received with less than 10 or more than 20 pages will not be considered. The authors name is not to appear within the play itself (ie. In the footer of the play). Plays should be submitted with numbered pages.”

We’re really looking forward to a great contest this year and I know a lot of you are already working hard on your entries.

If you would like to volunteer for the contest either to work backstage, on production or in any other capacity, please send me an email letting me know what you’d like to work on. We will be having auditions in early January, 2009.

Thanks! If you have questions, please feel free to email me or Jana (jkubatova@praguepost.com).
