Fifteenth Annual Student Ten-Minute Playwriting Festival

Don’t let your coolest, most creative ideas disappear into another online video post that your parents and grandparents don’t understand. Put your ideas on paper—and put them on stage!

Write an original 10-minute play and submit it to the Fifteenth Annual Student Ten-Minute Playwriting Festival.

We receive plenty of amazing scripts each year, but only eight plays will be selected for production. Yours could be one of them. Your words, characters, and ideas could come to life on a real stage in front of an audience.

The winning playwright takes home a $1,000 award, a plaque displayed at their high school for one year, and, of course, priceless bragging rights!

Want to see what past students have created? Check out our Production History page to meet previous finalists and winners. Then visit our Submission Guidelines page for eligibility requirements, judging criteria, and submission deadlines.

Are you a high school student in Florida? Your story deserves a stage. We can’t wait to read your play!
