The Foundation is pleased to announce a Playwriting
Competition for the Foundation’s 2008 writing grants. All works must
present the gay and lesbian lifestyle in a positive manner and be based on, or
directly inspired by, a historic person, culture, work of art, or event.
You may
think your affair with the dancer from the Russian ballet was historic, but it
doesn’t count. One work per author, please.
All works (Drama or Comedy or Musical) submitted must be
unpublished, original, and in English. Adaptations or translations of
other works of fiction are not acceptable. Plays may be full-length, a
long one-act, or an evening-long collection of related one-acts. All works
selected by the judges will be announced the following May and will receive a cash award of $1,000 (not limited to a
single winner).
All submissions must be postmarked by midnight November
30, 2008. Mail
manuscript, including author’s name, address, phone number, and a note on the
historical inspiration for the work to our new address. Because of the
large
number of submissions expected, NO manuscripts will be
returned.
