About the 10-Minute Play Competition

Competitors present a stage-ready theatre production in front of a live audience, which is then scored by a panel of adjudicators. The three best theatre productions are awarded cash prizes.

Actors and troupes interested in competing need to complete the application form to register their entry and submit their production for consideration.

Selected submissions will be invited to produce their play at the competition.

We are looking for a diverse array of genres, themes, formats, styles, and perspectives, so we encourage everyone to apply!
