Call for submissions: Infinithéâtre's Write-On-Q 2012

Infinithéâtre has begun accepting submissions for their Write-On-Q! competition for aspiring and established Québec playwrights. Scripts will be accepted for original, unproduced English or bilingual plays.

The winning play as selected by an industry jury will receive the Pam Dunn Prize which comes with a cash prize of $1,000. The winner and other top selected plays will received a staged reading at Infinithéâtre's annual reading series The Pipeline, which takes place in December over several nights.

Last year's winner of the Write-On-Q! script writing competition was Alyson Grant, for her play Trench Patterns. The jury awarded a runner-up prize to Mike Czuba and he received $500 prize for his play Reprise.

The deadline for submissions is September 4th, 2012.

WRITE-ON-Q!

Every year Infinithéâtre looks for innovative, challenging and exciting new works by Québec playwrights. A jury of professionals chooses the winner of the Pam Dunn Prize ($1,000) from plays submitted before the September deadline.

The winning script, as well as two or three additional plays, comprise the line-up of the annual reading series, The Pipeline, an animated weekend of free public play readings. Infinithéâtre takes its cue from the audience at talkbacks following each event, an open forum with the playwrights and actors that provides valuable feedback for future programming and script rewrites.

Infinithéâtre’s 2009-10 season consisted entirely of “Write-On-Q” submissions!

The deadline for next year's Write-On-Q! is September 4th, 2012.

Send your script, cover letter and CV to:
∞ Write-On-Q! c/o Infinithéâtre 5413 boul. St-Laurent, #302, Montreal, QC H2T 1S5
∞ Electronic scripts will not be considered
