The Festival is open to all writers and playwrights, worldwide, even if you have never written a play before. Plays must be 10 minutes in length total stage time, can be of any genre (comedy, tragedy etc.), have a limited number of characters (1-6), and should not have been previously produced in any form.
The first page of the play should contain the play’s title, a pseudonym, and all pages must be numbered. The playwright’s actual name and contact information should be in a sealed envelope (if submitting by post/mail) with the script name and pseudonym on the front. This will ensure anonymity during the judging process.
Playwrights should avoid wording that might offend. Hand-written plays are not acceptable. Because of the nature of the Festival, the sets must be kept simple and be capable of being changed quickly. Playwrights may submit more than one script, using a different pseudonym per script. The reading committee will choose eight plays, by eight different playwrights, to be staged with the assistance of the Annapolis District Drama Group, utilizing local directors and actors.
Of the eight script chosen for the Festival, one will be chosen by Theatre Nova Scotia as the best written script and receive a prize of $400. A second place best written script, also chosen by Theatre Nova Scotia, will receive a prize of $200.
All attending audiences will be asked to vote for the People’s Choice Award, announced at the Sunday matinee on June 22, 2025. Scripts will not be returned and applicants will be informed by March 13, 2025 if their play is to be included in the Festival.
