The submission deadline for finished scripts is 31 January 2017. The work must be an original script for stage, not previously produced in any way. To assist writers to develop and hone their craft, PANSA will arrange and run scriptwriting workshops prior to the submission cut-off date for the competition. If interested in attending one of the workshops, planned for mid-January 2017, please apply in writing before 24 December 2016.
Successful regional candidates will be announced at the end of February 2017. The reading of the plays of the shortlisted writers will take place over one weekend in four regions. The best script from each regional competition will go forward to the national final.
