DC Playwrights

And by big prizes, I mean $350 for first place, $250 for second place, and $150 for third place. And you pay $20 to enter. So, they need uh... 38 entries to break even. Deadline October 31, 2007.

The Little Theater of Alexandria has posted submission details and a loooong list of terms and conditions here: http://www.thelittletheatre.com/oneact.htm. Don't scroll too far, or you'll see that none of last year's winners were from the DC area.

That's right, the folks who put on the annual Winter Carnival of New Works say they accept submissions of plays of any size. Read for yourself: http://www.madcapplayers.com/newplay.html
