The Arch and Bruce Brown Foundation is holding their 2017 playwriting competition. Playwrights are invited to submit full-length plays that concern LGBT issues and are “based on, or directly inspired by, a historical person, culture, work of art, or event.”

Some important requirements:

• Your script must involve lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or genderqueer characters and/or themes.
• Your script must portray a historical period or incident.
• Only full-length works (dramas, comedies, musicals, screenplays) will be considered.

The first place winner will receive $3,000; second place will receive $1,500; and honorable mentions will receive $500 each.

Only the first 150 entries will be accepted. So submit as soon as possible.

There is no entry fee.

The deadline to enter the contest is April 30th, but they will probably be closed to submissions before then. To learn more, read the competition guidelines.
