The competition is open to any author, regardless of nationality or country of residence and must be the writers’ own work and not adaptations or translations; written in English and not published or under contract to a third party. By entering a script the writer is confirming that this is so.

Copyright remains with the writer but entering a script is also an acceptance that should it be among those selected, the New Venture Theatre may perform the piece without payment, during July 2010 as stated above.
