Dramatic reading pieces are to be short plays in English, Spanish, Chinese, or some combination of these.
The content of submitted pieces should correspond to the Series theme:

The Selection Committee will be guided by the following criteria:

Maximum length for plays: 15 minutes.
Scripts should be in standard dramatic format.
No children's plays. Playwright must hold all production and publishing rights.
Previously submitted plays (but not those previously selected for the series)
may be re-submitted.
Submissions should be emailed, mailed or hand-delivered to ATB
(to the email address or address below) and should include:

(Fee waived for ATB 2011 members and for plays submitted in previous years.)

- An electronic copy of each script, as a Word, Word-Perfect, Open Office or pdf document, with two title pages:
one bearing, in addition to the title and copyright information (if any),
the author's name and contact information, the other with only the title
(and, optionally, a copyright date, without a name).
(If hand-delivered or mailed, the electronic copy should be on a CD,
which will not be returned.)
- A one-paragraph synopsis -- in English -- for each script.
(The check should be mailed or hand delivered even if the script, application form and bio are emailed.)
