April's Play of the Month deadline approaches

In March NYCPlaywrights announced its Play of the Month project. The deadline for submissions is Sunday April 3, 2011, 11:59 PM so you have time to send in your 10-minute play based on the theme of the life and/or works of William Shakespeare.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

1. Send only one ten minute play per author to info@nycplaywrights.org.

2. The script submission should be sent by email, with the play itself as a file attached to the email. File format should be in either Microsoft Word (.doc) or .pdf.

3. The script should be in standard playscript format. If you are not sure what that is, see this page on the NYCPlaywrights web site:

http://nycp.blogspot.com/p/playscript-formatting-template.html

Plays that are not in standard format will be rejected immediately.

4. Make sure you have your name and your email address on the title page of the script.

5. Plays can be from anybody, anywhere in the world, but must be primarily in English (a few non-English phrases are acceptable, but the phrases must include English translations in production notes or stage directions.)

6. There is no fee for submission - and no payment given for the plays selected. Do not send a submission if you are expecting monetary compensation.

7. The NYCPlaywrights selection decision is final and NYCPlaywrights reserves the right to select no plays from those submitted.

8. The selected play will be videotaped as a reading during an NYCPlaywrights meeting and posted shortly after, during the month of April.

9. The playwright will be asked to review the video recording before it is made public.

10. The video recording of the play reading will be posted to the NYCPlaywrights YouTube account and from there embedded into the NYCPlaywrights blog. The embedded section may be an excerpt of the play reading rather than the entire reading.
