The Doris Fisher Harris Playwriting Competition exists to encourage the creation of new dramatic literature that is characterized by a distinctly Christian worldview. One of our goals is to provide ministry-minded Christian actors and stage directors with more plays that are designed to reach believers and non-believers for the cause of Christ. Therefore we are seeking plays that have strong Biblical themes and conservative Christian values. Submissions need not be sermonic or religious but should reflect a Christian worldview.

  FEE $5. We are open to plays of any genre or style. Particularly inclined toward plays that embrace, explore and challenge the diverse geographical, philosophical, cultural, aesthetic and political landscape of the American experience - rural and urban, east and west, coastal and inland. Final decisions will be made by mid-April. The Conference takes place in June (usually the middle two weeks) in McCall, Idaho. Those invited to the Conference, are provided with transportation, housing, access to a car and a modest stipend. Please remember this is a DEVELOPMENT event. The Conference does not “produce” the plays that are the selected. Plays are presented as fully staged readings with a focus on the continuing growth of the play, and the playwright.
