4th STAGE International Script Competition Submission Checklist

All submissions to the 4^th STAGE Script Competition must include:

A cover letter.
A completed and signed copy of the STAGE Entry Form Confirmation. (Click here to go to the online entry form.)
A bio/resume for each author/collaborator.
Two copies of a separate one-page (maximum) synopsis of the script. Include the name of the play at the top of this page, but identification and/or the name(s) of the author(s) must not appear anywhere on the synopsis.
Two copies of a separate written statement regarding:
1. the specific manner in which the play relates to the fields of science and/or technology;
2. how the play has developed up to the present (including information about the artistic evolution of the play and its ideas, as well as information regarding past readings, workshops, etc.); and
3. how the author(s) envision the future development of the script and the culmination of this work.
It is understood that in some cases, names of collaborators may need to be mentioned as part of the developmental history, but again, do not include the name of the author(s) anywhere in the written statement.
Three (3) copies of the play, in English. Since scripts will be read as blind submissions, the title pages on all copies of the play must include only the name of the play and the year in which it was written. Identification and/or the name(s) of the author(s) must not appear anywhere on the scripts. Each script must include a list of characters or a cast breakdown. Double-sided photocopies of scripts are encouraged.

Other supporting materials that must accompany the submission of adaptations, multi-media theatre pieces, new forms, and works that are not entirely script-based (see Submission Guidelines #3c and #3d for details).
