Eligibility

• Participants must self-identify as disabled, neurodivergent, and/or chronically ill.​

• Participants must not be represented by an agent.

• Project submitted must not be previously published. This includes self-published.

​

The number one question we get at #PitchDis pertains to the disabled, neurodivergent, and/or chronically ill portion of the eligibility rules. Want to know if you can participate? Here is a handy flow chart that may help.

Basically, it comes down to this: If you consider yourself disabled, neurodivergent, and/or chronically ill, you are eligible. #PitchDis will not make this decision for you, nor will we deem you “disabled enough” to participate. The classification is yours and yours alone.

​

Because of this, any messages or emails asking if a certain condition, or the severity of a condition, meets the requirements of eligibility will not be answered or acknowledged.

​

Lastly, if you write disabled, neurodivergent, and/or chronically ill characters but do not consider yourself disabled, neurodivergent, and/or chronically ill, you are not eligible to participate.

Thank you for understanding.
