About the Collaboration Awards
The Collaboration Award: Women Working With Women is designed to encourage professional women in the arts and media to work collaboratively with women from other arts and media specializations on the creation of new work. The award honors successful collaborations among women from different specializations in the arts and media. An award will be made to one winning collaborative team. Two other teams will be honored with a Certificate of Achievement. Eligible teams are those collaborating on a new work, a completed work or a work-in-progress. Winning collaborative teams will be invited to the Collaboration Award Gala celebrating the awards.

Quotes from Past Winners:
"It was an honor for Stefanie and I to receive the Collaboration Award.
It came at a critical moment for the development of Electric Baby as
the award supported our work together on two developmental
workshops and our world premiere production of the play at Quantum
Theatre in Pittsburgh. Not only did this award support our work
financially, it gave our collaboration recognition in the field. Stefanie
continues to be a key collaborator of mine on subsequent projects
and having our relationship recognized publicly is invaluable."
- Daniella Topol, Director, 2011 Winner
"New work needs momentum. It's simply not a reality that a play can
be written in the attic and then magically find a production. Or that one
production will lead to a second or third production. People need to
hear about work. They need to hear about the artists who make the work.
There is no question that this award not only helped The Electric Baby
become a better play, but it gave the baby a life."
- Stefanie Zadravec, Playwright, 2011 Winner
"The Collaboration Award's encouragement of women working together
is terrific. It made all the difference in providing my collaborator and I
with the time and support we needed to create a complex and dynamic
theatre work."
- Kristin Marting, Director, 2008 Winner
"The evening of the Collaboration Awards was imbued with theatrical
magic. Wendy directed an excerpt from my play, Birds, that captured
the spirit of the play with great response from a wildly supportive audience.
Birds is the third play of mine that we worked on together. It was a beautiful
jumping off point for us in our process. It provided the opportunity for us
to mine even deeper in our exploration of the world of this complicated play,
and the support, enthusiasm and appreciation of this body of amazing
women helped carry us through to the next step of our artistic journey."
- Jen Maisel, Playwright, 2006 Winner
