Admission to the program depends primarily on the quality of the writing that an applicant submits – a full-length play, screenplay or teleplay. The program accepts shorter works, provided there is at least a total of fifty pages of script. The program prefers submissions in dramatic form; novels and short stories are seldom considered. All submitted work must be original and written solely by the applicant. Applicants should not send videotapes or audiotapes of their work.
