Description:
Playwrights First is an organization which recognizes, rewards and advances playwrights of unusual promise.
Our group is made up of actors, directors, producers, a new playwright, teachers, authors, a theater owner, journalists, lawyers and business men and women. We are the judges in a playwriting contest we have held since 1993. We believe that drama is essentially a literary form that is fully realized in performance.
We offer a $1,000 grant for the winning play, and when feasible, a professional reading before a New York audience.
Comments from NMI Staff:
Annual - Best New Play Award
$1,000 First Place award
and, when feasible, a professional reading before a New York audience.
The submission period for our 2021-2022 season is August 1 - September 15, 2021.
