The SCrIBE Script Writing Competition is once again calling
on all playwrights resident in South Africa and over the age of 21 to make
submissions of new plays to the Imbewu Trust by July 31, 2013. The inaugural
competition in 2012 was won by Gabriella Pinto.
Sam De Romijn, Director of The Imbewu Trust and Paul
Griffiths, founder of the SCrIBE competition and a trustee of The Imbewu Trust
have emphasized that Imbewu is looking for new works of outstanding quality,
original content and which represent the depth and range of the South African
theatre landscape. Scripts must be in English, no longer than 40 pages or 80
minutes, and have no more than five cast members. They must be submitted as a
word document via e-mail together with the entry form which can be found on The
Imbewu Trust website which includes the Terms and Conditions of Entry.
The closing date for entries is July 31, 2013, and the
winner will be announced on August 30, 2013. Entries will be reviewed by a
panel of judges that will include established theatre makers, directors and
producers. The winning script will enjoy a full season in Cape Town from October
1 to 12 at the Theatre Arts Admin Collective in Observatory and the Imbewu
Trust will work with the winning writer to produce all aspects of the staging
of the production.
