2008 High School 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: High school students residing in the 10-state SETC region.

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. Electronic submissions are welcome! If you choose instead to submit a hard copy via mail, the script must be securely bound. Scripts will not be returned. Click here for a guide to formatting for playwrights.
