This competition is open to any student currently enrolled in high school in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, or Wisconsin.   The purpose of this competition is to encourage the writing of plays by young people. Students who are new to playwriting are especially encouraged to write a play and submit it to the competition.   • Plays must be postmarked by March 25, 2005. • Plays must be typed in standard play format. A sample of acceptable formatting can be found at at the bottom of this page. • Plays may be of any length. Plays should have between one and seven characters. Plays with more than seven characters are allowed if doubling can bring the maximum number of actors required down to seven. - Strong theatricality is encouraged (writing that is especially for the stage, as opposed to film or other formats). - There is no fee to enter. - Please include a cover letter with your play that contains your name, address, email, phone number, and school affiliation and year. - Mail script to:   Theater Department
