NotaBle Acts is now seeking submissions for our twenty-fourth annual provincewide playwriting competition. Contest winners will have their work featured as part of the 2025 NotaBle Acts Summer Theatre Festival, to be held in Fredericton, July 23-August 2.

New Brunswick playwrights have the opportunity to submit work in three main categories, one for 7-10 minute short plays, one for 30-60 minute one-act plays, and another for 10-20 minute site-specific plays. Two additional categories of the contest are specifically for young playwrights in New Brunswick Middle and High schools.

Winning playwrights will also receive a cash prize and script mentoring from a professional playwright.
