The David Charles Horn Foundation, established in 2003, aims to invigorate contemporary theater by discovering and celebrating new voices in playwriting through its support of the Yale Drama Series Prize. Through this annual competition, the Foundation honors the late David Charles Horn's dream of seeing his literary work in print by publishing the winning play as part of the prestigious Yale Drama Series produced by Yale University Press.
The Yale Drama Series Prize, known for its openness, invites emerging dramatists from around the world to submit original, full-length, English-language plays. With over 19,000 submissions from 116 countries since its launch in 2006, the competition appoints a distinguished judge who selects a winner from a curated selection of 30 to 50 plays. The winning playwright not only receives the David Charles Horn Award of $10,000 but also enjoys the rare opportunity of having their work published and showcased through a professional staged reading at a renowned venue.
