VSA Playwright Discovery Award Program
VSA Playwright Discovery Award Program is for middle and high school students, so that they can share their disability experience with others. Students can create fictional characters with the help of art or script writing. Young writers with or without disabilities can submit their entries for the award. The competition is categorized in three divisions: grades 6-7, grades 8-9, and grades 10-12 (or equivalents). A panel of theatre professionals will select the winners from each division. Winners will receive $500 for their school’s arts programs, along with an award for excellence in script writing. In the senior division (grades 10-12), winners will go to Washington, D.C. for the VSA Playwright Discovery Weekend Intensive. All applications must be submitted by April 28, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. For detailed information click on the following link:
