Quad City Playwrights Festival Accepting Submissions For 2021 Online Fest
The Quad City Playwrights’ Festival is now accepting submissions for 2021. The festival will be held virtually this year.
Submissions must be an original work, 10-minutes in length, a maximum of 10 pages, authored by one individual who resides in the Quad Cities area or is an Augustana student or graduate. No adaptions or excerpt scripts from larger works will be accepted. The script may be any genre. As virtual plays have become an established medium, both scripts written to be performed online and those meant for the stage are
welcomed.
A committee will adjudicate submissions and a select number of plays will have an assigned director and cast who will present a reading of the work via Zoom on May 15, 2021, at 1:30 p.m.
To enter, please include a cover sheet with playwright’s name, email address, and phone number. High school and college students should identify their schools. Quad Cities area playwrights should identify their city of residence. Augustana alumni should indicate their year of graduation. Scripts must be submitted by April 19, 2021.
