ARTCORE is calling for a new play for adults and older youth to perform for family audiences.
The winner will be performed during the 2015-2016 season. ARTCORE’s competitions are judged by out-of-state judges, and there is a $ 15 entry fee for each manuscript entered. The winner of the One-Act Play competition will receive a cash prize of $300 and the debut of the work by performers selected by ARTCORE.
Objectives: To find serious playwrights in the state; to provide an ongoing program for encouraging new plays by these same playwrights; to give exposure to the plays of merit; to stimulate an interest in contemporary theatre in Wyoming audiences.
Schedule: Contest Opens July 2014 Manuscripts & entry fees must be postmarked by March 16, 2015 to: ARTCORE, P. O. Box 874, Casper, WY 82602. Winner Announced May 30, 2015
Guidelines:
• Entries are limited to one-act plays (performable in one hour or less).
• Two copies of each entry must be accompanied by cover sheets naming the playwright and the title of the work, as well as a statement certifying that the play has not been previously published or performed. Manuscripts will not be returned unless accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
• Manuscripts themselves should not bear the writer’s name.
• If the judge fails to find any of the manuscripts suitable, a winner will not be selected.
• Enter as many plays as you wish. Each requires a separate entry fee.
• Playwrights must be residents of Wyoming at the time their entries are submitted.
Partial funding for this program is from the Wyoming Arts Council, through the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming State Legislature.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
