The deadline for submission of entries to the Peace Theater International Short Play Writing Competition has been extended to the 10th of November 2010. Winners will be announced on the 18th of November, in program celebrating the culmination of the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World.

1. The Competition theme is "Peace and Conflict Resolution." Entries should touch on issues that discuss and/or 'problematize' this theme.

3. Anyone can join. Students of the University of the Philippines and other schools and universities are encouraged to submit as many entries as they wish.

4. Winning entries remain under the sole ownership of the author. However, participation in the competition entitles Dulaang UP-Baguio to select and use entries in university-based activities and publications.

5. Scripts can be in English or Tagalog. Works in other Filipino languages will be accepted if a translation to English or Tagalog is provided by the author.

6. A work that has won a prize in another competition is not eligible.

8. All entries should bear the author's name, address, school (if applicable), contact numbers and email address.

9. Three winners--first, second and third-- will be announced on the 18th of September. The awarding ceremony will take place on the 21st of September, in a program celebrating the day as the United Nations International Day of Peace. Each winner will receive a plaque and cash prize.
