2. Submissions must not have received a professional production or publication
3. The selected plays will receive readings at The Kennedy Center’s Page-to-Stage Festival over Labor Day Weekend and on the campus of Bowie State University this fall
4. Plays must be submitted via e-mail to newplayfestival@bowiestate.edu in pdf format
5. Submissions should include a brief author bio
