Astitva & Mumbai Theatre Guide have collaborated for eNatya Shodh, an online one-act play competition with the aim to take one-act plays to a larger audience.

Every year, a number of one-act plays are staged but they don't reach the desired audience mainly due to commercial limitations. Moreover, they are not widely staged in multiple locations unlike the commercial theatre productions and full length dramas.

With the idea to take these plays to a wider audience, Astitva & Mumbai Theatre Guide are jointly holding a one-act play competition to encourage playwrights, performers, directors, whether amateur or professional, who will be judged on the quality of their one-act play, and on its suitability for streaming it online. These plays will be judged anonymously by an adjudication panel.

The participation is open to all. All it requires is web connectivity and a taste to watch these productions, that would be previewed and shortlisted by a panel of judges.

The best plays will receive cash prizes and will also have a ticketed show event for their plays. That's not all. From the day of the final presentation of awards till the three finalists are viewed online by the viewers, the revenue generated by the channel will be shared 50:50 with the three finalists.
