PLAYWRITING COMPETITIONS
East West Players is pleased to announce its latest
Playwrighting Competition: FACE OF THE FUTURE. This time around
we are particularly looking for plays that explore the reality of
multicultural America from an Asian American perspective. For instance,
subject matter might include (but need not be limited to) biracial or
multiracial identity, clashes or collaborations between cultures, or
international/transnational storylines.
The prizes are as follows: $5000 First Place; $2500 Second Place; $1000
Third Place. The First, Second and Third Place winners will all receive
readings by EWP. All winners will be considered for workshop and/or
production; EWP must have the first option to produce.
Submission period: May 2, 2011 to August 31, 2011
Notification: February 2012
