Original Play Submission Deadlines and Guidelines
Two important changes have been made for this year.
1. We are opening up the number of plays a student can submit. (In the past the restriction was 2 ten-minute plays, 2 one act plays, 1 full-length. You may submit as many plays as you wish.
2. You may submit a play you’ve submitted before (especially if you’ve made alterations to it).

In addition to the National Playwriting Program, Region 1 is pleased to offer a New Play Development program that provides an opportunity for students to workshop 10-minute and one act plays. More information is available here. (Link Coming Soon)
