The competition is open to any New Zealand citizen/permanent resident. Plays must not have had a professional production (readings, workshops, amateur productions or productions opening after 1 December are fine). Scripts may only be submitted to this competition once. There are no limits on length, style, theme or cast size.
We are very grateful for the generosity of the Adam Foundation who enable us to offer a total of $8,000 in prizes. All who make the shortlist will be eligible for distribution to potential producers.
