Tragedy and comedy competitions are often held in bacchanalia. It is said that playwrights must recite their entries to an organization responsible for selecting scripts before they can perform. Screenwriters can ask the government for a song team. Most of the expenses of the performance are paid by the rich people who are elected as managers, and the government is responsible for building the theater and implementing incentives. Winning the first prize in the drama competition is a great honor for the ancient Greeks and a good opportunity for some people to get ahead. It is said that in order to encourage people to go to the theater, Perikles once gave people a "theater allowance" so that they not only had fun, but also did not have to suffer economic losses.
