The Yale Drama Series is an annual international competition for emerging playwrights. The winner receives the David C. Horn prize of $10,000, publication of the winning play by Yale University Press and a staged reading at the Yale Repertory Theater.

Award winning playwright John Guare succeeds Edward Albee and David Hare as judge for the Series and will serve through 2013. In accepting the position, John Guare said: "In a few short years, the Yale Drama Series has asserted itself as the preeminent playwriting contest in the English speaking world. This annual event has become a playwright's dream."

Francine Horn said, "What an honour for the Foundation and the Series that John Guare is our judge. The job is mammoth and I am delighted that he embraces it with joy and enthusiasm. We are excited to continue our work with such a special writer and human being."

Submissions for the 2013 Competition must be postmarked no earlier than June 1, 2012 and no later than August 15, 2012.
