FictionAlley announces the SpellCast Azkatraz Podcast Play Sweepstakes Spectacularrr! SpellCast is producing a live podcast play during Azkatraz’s Podcast Palooza and this year we are hosting a contest for the featured plays. We will select three short plays to be performed live by conference attendees during the podcast.

The nitty gritty:

- The play, when performed, should be between ten and fifteen minutes in length.
- There will be one winner from each category: drama, comedy and romance.
- The script should in some way incorporate the wizard prison Azkaban, whether it be the setting, the topic of discussion, or a parody of a pop culture prison show (such as Prison Break or Arrested Development).
- The play is required to have a narrator.
- The content of the play should be rated the equivalent of PG-13 or lower.
- Keep in mind that while this play will be performed live at the conference, the intention is to be a “radio play” in which all action is heard, not seen. The stage directions should be sounds that can be made by either the actors or the audience. Remember, an active audience is a happy audience!

The contest is open from March 15th through May 31st. Submit your original script to contest@spellcastpodcast.com. Questions may also be directed to this e-mail address. Winners will be announced June 15th.
