The plays cover every genre of theatre from absurdist to tragedy, satire to black comedy.
Those ten winning plays are now cast with 24 actors and 10 directors.
Chesil Theatre chairman David Small said: "We have been delighted that TakeTen has been well received with so many participants from all across the UK. Chesil Theatre is pleased to play its small part in giving writers the challenge of creating a unique work within a prescribed format and theme, with the opportunity to see their work premiered on stage."
The ongoing pandemic means that Chesil Theatre will need to adapt its approach to producing the festival, which will run all ten plays.
