Submissions Are Now Closed

Thank you to everyone who shared their work with us. Our team is currently reviewing this year’s submissions.

We were truly impressed by the creativity, honesty, and imagination in the plays we received. Choosing finalists is never easy, and we are grateful to every young playwright who had the courage to share their voice.

If your play is not selected this year, please keep writing and pursuing your passion. Playwriting is not an easy path, but it is an important one, and your voice matters.

We hope you will join us at the festival to celebrate the playwrights selected this year, meet fellow creatives, and become part of a community that believes in helping young artists thrive.

Because we know one thing for sure: if you love storytelling as much as we do, this is only the beginning.
