Each year Kumu Kahua Theatre co-sponsors a playwriting contest with the University of Hawai'i at M?noa Theatre and Dance Department in its effort to bring new and exciting drama to the stage.

Entries must be postmarked no later than today, January 2, 2014, to qualify.

Prizes are awarded in three separate categories.

For the Hawai'i Prize ($600), which is open to residents and non-residents of Hawai'i, the play must be set in Hawai'i or deal with some aspect of the Hawai'i experience.

For the Pacific/Rim Prize ($450), which is open to residents and non-residents of Hawai'i, the play must be set in or deal with the Pacific Islands, the Pacific Rim, or the Pacific/Asian American experience.

For the Resident Prize ($250), which is only open to residents of Hawai'i at the time of submission, the plays may be on any topic.

One prize will be offered in each category. All plays must be original and must not involve adaptation from any copyrighted source. Also, they should not have received previous production in their current form.
