accepted. Playwrights must be Connecticut residents or students attending
school in Connecticut.

The competition is divided into three categories: ten-minute play, one-act
play, and full-length play. Winners will receive a financial award of $200,
$300, and $500 respectively. Playwrights may submit up to one play in each
category.

All entries must be original, properly formatted, and postmarked no later
than October 15th, 2009. Winners will be announced by January 15, 2010, and
