Riverside Ten-Minute Play Fest

The Riverside Cultural Consortium is pleased to announce the Riverside 
Ten
Minute Play Festival 2006, a new playwrighting competition in 
conjunction with
the 10-day Fanning The Creative Flame fall arts festival. This year’s 
winning
plays will be performed on Saturday, November 4, 2006 in downtown 
Riverside.

The competition is open to both experienced and emerging playwrights. 
All
submissions will be read anonymously and judged by a jury. Selected 
playwrights
will receive a cash prize of $100 and will have their play performed 
during the
2006 Riverside Ten Minute Play Fest.

The submission information and rules are as follows:

1.Play submissions must have a running time of ten minutes or less.
2.Individuals may submit as many plays as they wish, although a 
separate entry
form and entry fee must accompany each submission.
3.If a play is selected for performance, it shall be produced as part 
of the
10-Minute Play Festival on November 4, 2006.
4.Each submission must be postmarked by August 15, 2006 and include a 
$5 entry
fee.  There shall also be a late deadline of September 1, 2006 
(postmarked by)
with a late entry fee of $10. You may submit a written request to have 
the fee
waived if this is a financial hardship.
5.Each submission must include a completed and signed entry form, a 
check for
the entry fee (or request for a fee waiver), and one CD with the play 
saved as
a Word document, and one typed hard copy of the play (single-sided,
double-spaced, unbound). Provide two cover pages (see below). Number 
pages in
the upper right hand corner and include the play’s title on each page, 
next to
the page number. We require two cover pages, one displaying the title 
of the
play, the playwright’s name and the playwright’s contact information; 
the other
cover page should list the title of the play, a brief description of the
setting and a character list. Playwrights will not receive individual 
comments
by the judges; scripts will not be returned to the sender, so do not 
send
original copies. Scripts will be evaluated on the basis of their 
artistic merit
and their adherence to the rules of the contest. General guidelines for
formatting stage scripts are available for download at
<www.riversideculturalconsortium.org>
6.On the entry form, the submitting party must sign a paragraph 
indicating that
s/he has the legal authority to submit the play for consideration, and 
agree to
indemnify and hold harmless the Riverside Arts Council for any claims 
resulting
from the production of the play.
7.If the submitting party is under 18 years of age, the entry form must 
be
signed by a parent or legal guardian.
8.The Riverside Ten Minute Play Festival encourages respect for all 
people,
tolerance of diverse points of view and the affirmation of freedom of
expression.
