Julie Harris Playwriting Competition Now In Progress

The Beverly Hills Theatre Guild's Julie Harris Playwriting Competition is accepting applications for its annual playwriting competition. This prestigious competition is in its 48th year and attracts interest from around the world. Entries are accepted year-round & winners are selected each June/July.

Every year, 3 winners are selected and are presented with cash prizes for full-length (75 minutes minimum) previously unproduced plays. "Unproduced" means: No previous production (Equity or non-Equity) for which actors or authors were paid or admission was charged, or both. No musicals are eligible. Plays with an occasional song for ambience are considered. The plays must also be unpublished and not currently under any option.

This year, the prizes will be $3,500, $2,500, and $1,500 for first, second and third prizes respectively.

There is a $25 entry fee for submissions. Only one play per entrant will be considered.
