Submission Guidelines

10-15 pages in writing, or 10-15 minutes in performance. Submissions that exceed the length requirement will not be penalized, but our committee will stop reading after 15 pages or 15 minutes of performance in estimation.

If the submission is an excerpt from a longer work, a one-page synopsis of the entire work should be included.

In Chinese, English, or a mix of both languages. Written forms of Chinese dialects, such as Cantonese, Hokkien, and Hakka, are welcome, but a translation in standard modern literary Chinese should be included in the footnotes.

Supplemental materials, such as musical scores, recordings, illustrations, and videos, can be submitted separately in the application.

Participants can submit projects as individuals or groups.
