WHY IS THERE A SUBMISSION FEE?
As the Stevenson Prize competition grows, we’re committed to keeping this opportunity accessible to all playwrights with our no-fee Regular Submission Period. We’re also committed to paying every reader, judge, staff member, and intern involved, as we have in previous years. $5 submission fees in the Extended Period will cover a small part of that fair compensation for the artists who make the Stevenson Prize possible. We look forward to reading your work!
