Fighting Babes Competition

The American theatrical company, Babes with Blades is running an international playwriting competition to increase the number of quality scripts that feature fighting roles for women.

The theme for this year's competition is "Film Noir": the website features a black and white image as an inspirational point for the proposed play, and the scene must appear in the finished work.

The winning playwright will receive a $1000 cash prize.

The deadline for entries is February 28, 2009. More information on the competition, its guidelines, and submission requirements are available on the web site.
