We have received over 130 plays already and those have now be shortlisted to around 50+ plays which are separated into 7 different programs which are all given at least 4 shows each in a competition style festival where the audience votes for all of the plays that they see and once we get to the end of the initial month we then take the top two plays from each program that progress to the 2 semi-finals and then the final 8 plays move to the Grand Final.

The winning Play, Actor, Actress and Director will all win cash awards and be given an Award at the Grand Final.
