- Speakers name must be written in ALL CAPS, followed by a colon. Leave a blank line between speeches
- Writers may submit as many pieces as they choose. We will aim to perform as many submitted scripts as possible, but in the interests of a balanced programme we will not guarantee than any particular script will be performed.
- Writers must be members of WRiTEON to submit. Membership costs £10 per year. To enquire about becoming a member, please write to news@writeon.org.uk
Please note that we will no longer accept scripts that are not submitted in the correct format.
