Purpose
The purpose of this competition is to encourage both experienced and new playwrights to write about
subjects and issues of interest to the lesbian community. By providing a forum for these works, we
hope to increase the number of relevant plays that not only focus on the lesbian experience but also
celebrate lesbian culture in the United States.
This is the first of what we anticipate will be an annual competition.
