· The work should have potential appeal for local audiences.
· The work should be able to perform in festival conditions, with quick get-in and strike, and simple technical requirements.

· The company or individual should have a good track-record and reputation.
· The work should not have played publicly in Durban in the past 12 months.
· The work should be 50-70 minutes in length.
