Guidelines

  1. We are accepting applications for one act plays up to 45 minutes in length (approx. 45 pages playwright format).
  2. There is no restriction on subject matter. However, we are looking for plays that have a broad appeal (13+) Please exercise caution when choosing subject matter, using violence, obscenity, etc.—make sure it is artistically justified.
  3. Up to 3 plays will be selected by KinkyFish for a run of performances to be held in November 2011*.
  4. Please e-mail your entries to submissions@kinkyfish.co.uk on or before July 10th 2011. Entries received after the deadline will not be considered for the competition. KinkyFish will acknowledge receipt of your submission via e-mail.
  5. Please save your play to PDF format to ensure that your play prints out as intended, and to protect your play against modification. Plays in DOC formats are acceptable, but PDF is strongly preferred. If you are unable to submit your application electronically please contact us for alternatives.
  6. While all selected plays will be performed, casting is subject to performer availability with regard to gender, ethnicity, and age.
  7. Applicants should be aware that KinkyFish reserves the right to videotape and photograph performances for archival, promotional and review purposes. These recordings will not be sold without prior notification.
