This prize is normally awarded in even-numbered years to a play published or produced during the two previous years. Because of the limited number of productions in 2020 and 2021, we have extended the opening date for eligibility back to 2018, provided that the play was not already submitted for the 2020 prize.
In addition to the $3,000 prize, the winning play will receive a reading as part of Infinithéâtre’s Pipeline Reading Series.
