The winning playwright awards the Dayton Playhouse the option to produce play as part of its main stage season royalty-free.

Each entry is guaranteed a minimum of 3 reads/evaluations. The committee narrows down the entries to 18 – 20, which are then read by the entire committee who select the 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. |
