Fee (WAIVED!!)

The OxDocs Annual Festival of New Work is an international competition intended to showcase promising and/or persistent talent in nonfiction writing for stage and screen. In particular, the contest seeks to provide a platform for screenwriters and playwrights whose work focuses on improving cultural understanding and insight across and within divided communities, such as those suffering from intractable conflict around cultural, religious, ethnic, racial, or gender-related issues. The format or genre for which we are currently soliciting submissions is non-fiction drama (testimonial, real-life narrative or ethnographic) for stage plays and long-form documentary (30-90 minutes) for film and television scripts.

Submissions are made online. For full guidelines, rules and REQUIRED application form, please click here. If you have problems or questions only (no routine inquiries, please), contact Elizabeth at oxdocs@gmail.org
