Each selected text will be awarded a gross prize of € 4.400,00. The selected texts will be translated into English and published in an online format whereas the omnibus play/performance, based on the award-winning texts as an integral part of the production, will be directed by Selma Spahić. Performances will be held in Zagreb, Belgrade and Maribor. The competition focuses on the theme of abused and neglected women during the Covid-19 pandemic.
