The Georgia Theatre Conference, the official theatre organization for the state of Georgia, is now taking submissions for its annual One Act Play Competition. Plays may be submitted in two categories: Secondary and Post-Secondary. There is a $150.00 prize for the winner in the Secondary category. The winner in the Post-Secondary play category will receive a $250.00 prize and will also be performed as a staged reading at the Georgia Theatre Conference convention held in Albany, GA, October 16-19, 2008. Guidelines are listed below:

• Plays submitted in the Secondary category must have been written before the playwright graduated from High School or while they were younger than 19 years of age. All other plays submitted must be entered in the Post-Secondary category.
• Play submissions must be one act only. Full length scripts and musicals are not acceptable. Multiple submissions are allowed.
• One act submissions must not have been previously performed or have received formal readings or staging.
• Plays should be typed in size 12 font, approximately 50 pages in length, running-time no longer than one hour, and limited to 10 or fewer characters.
