Guest Judge Reva Stern ~

It is my pleasure to announce Infinite Pathways’ first annual writing competition for 1 Act Plays.

Entries should be submitted between:

April 1st 2014 – June 1st, 2014

This competition is for new and emerging writers 16+ (12+ with the submission of a Guardianship Form). Those playwrights who have a solid track-record and have diligently worked to build an author platform, please refrain from entering the contest. The core purpose for the IP Writing Contests is to promote new writers. However, if you are a seasoned writer who is a novice playwright trying to make a name for yourself, please do submit an entry for consideration.

See contest rules and regulations here.

Our 1st confirmed judge for this year’s contest is the accomplished Reva Stern.
