In the year of our Lord, 1939

 

 

In an effort to inspire future playwrights within the royal capital of Whitespire, the Directress of the Plane finds it apt to hold a playwriting contest. The winner of this contest will study under semi-renowned Aaunic playwright Amelia, Baroness of Lewes, who will teach him/her the act of writing, plot structure, and composition of language. The Directress asks that plays be submitted within the timeframe of 1939 to 1941 (8/24/23-9/13/23), any plays not submitted between this timeframe will not be considered. Finally, the winner shall receive a grant of 200 mina* to put said play on. 

 

 

Play Requirements

There are few, yet stern requirements for plays to be eligible to win. They are listed as follows:

 

♢ Your play must include symbolism, whether it be through food, nature, attire, or another unlisted way. Some common examples are vampyres representing lust, death, or fear, witches representing unjust treatment or persecution, a dove representing peace or serenity, or water representing rebirth and renewal. Feel free to pick from any of these symbols, but it is heavily encouraged to come up with your own.

♢ Your play must follow the conventional playwright format. See The Collected Works of Bianca Le Fleur for the standard format, or utilize this template.

♢ Your play must be no less than three pages, and no more than eight.
♢ Your play must feature between two to four characters.
♢ Your play must include a middle, beginning, and ending - however it does not have to follow the traditional storytelling format of exposition, rising action, complication, climax, reversal, falling action and ending.

♢ Your play must have at least two different settings.
♢Your play can be of any genre.
♢Your play must be original and written by you. Any plagiarized material will be disqualified. However, inspiration from other plays is acceptable as long as it is credited.
For example, if your play is inspired by One of Bianca Le Fleur’s plays, you should credit her by putting After Bianca Le Fleur; written by XYZ.

 

 

In accordance with the upcoming coronation of King Edmund II, the Directress of the Plane strongly encourages writers to write within the theme of KINGS to honor the boy-monarch. Should you have any questions, please write a letter to Amelia de Lewes, Directress of the Plane.
