 > JANE CHAMBERS 2009 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
 >
 > The Women & Theatre Program of the Association for Theatre in  
Higher Education invites submissions from female playwrights for the  
annual Jane Chambers Award, now in its MM Year.
 >
 > The Jane Chambers Playwriting Award recognizes plays & performance  
texts created by women that present a feminist perspective & contain  
significant opportunities for female performers. Experimentation in  
form and subject matter are welcome. This annual award is given in  
memory of lesbian playwright Jane Chambers who, through her plays such  
as A LATE SNOW, MY BLUE HEAVEN, KUDZU, & THE QUINTESSENTIAL IMAGE,  
became a major feminist voice in American theatre.
 >
 > The Award for the primary Jane Chambers Contest consists of $500,  
free registration to attend the Association in Theater in Higher  
Education’s conference in NYC & a rehearsed reading of the winning  
piece at that conference this summer, hosted by WTP with ATHE. The  
winner should attend the conference’s awards ceremony. The student  
winner is also recognized, and receives a reading at WTP's Conference.

form from WTP website, resume, brief description of the piece, and
