New Play Winner

Clockwork
Elizabeth Reischmann
St. Petersburg, FL

Are you a high school student who writes? Or perhaps you're a teacher who works with aspiring playwrights?

The SETC Playwriting Committee has created a new playwriting contest just for high school students. The winning student playwright receives a $250 prize and an invitation to attend the SETC Spring Convention. The winning script will be presented in a staged reading and receive a response from a distinguished panel of critics.

Who's Eligible: Only high school student playwrights who are currently residing in the ten state SETC member region are eligible for consideration. These states include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

Entry Window: Submissions accepted between October 1 and December 1

Entry Requirements: The script should be a one-act play that has not been published and has not been professionally produced. Only one play may be submitted by each playwright, and plays must be written by a single playwright - no collaborations.

Submission Format: All scripts must be typed. Hard copies sent via postal mail are preferred, although electronic submissions will be accepted. Scripts will not be returned.
