| SELECTION PROCESS: |
Every entry is guaranteed a minimum of 3 reads/evaluations, with the last 18-20 being read by all members of the first committee, who then vote on 12 semi-finalists. A second committee selects the 6 finalists. During FutureFest weekend, the plays are staged and publicly adjudicated by a panel of 5 theatre professionals (New York based and regional). Following the final production of the weekend, the adjudicators meet and select the winner. |
| NOTIFICATION: |
Due to the sheer volume of entries received, only semi-finalists/finalists will be contacted. To confirm receipt of script, include a SASP. Scripts will not be returned. Script evaluations will not be provided. Finalists will be posted on the Dayton Playhouse website (www.daytonplayhouse.org) in May 2012. |
