Scriptwriters & Co’s Summer Scratch Night will take place online at 7pm GMT on Tuesday 26 September 2023.
Submissions are open to writers anywhere in the world. This time they’re looking for original plays, screenplays or audio plays of 5-6 pages, on the theme published on their website.
It’s free to submit. The prize? Up to ten winning pieces will be performed ‘live’ on Zoom by professional S&Co Actors, with lively and constructive discussions by judges and audience members after each performance. It’s a great place to test your work in safe, positive environment.
To compete, you must:
- visit Scriptwriters & Co for the finer details
- subscribe to their mailing list
- be over 18
- be able to attend the online Zoom event
Your script must be:
- in English
- relevant to the theme found on their website
- to the prescribed page count
- spell-checked and formatted appropriately
- in PDF format, with its title and your name in the file name.
Scriptwriters & Co’s experienced readers assess every submission very carefully. Please don’t be disheartened if yours isn’t chosen, or leap to the conclusion that it isn’t engaging or well-written. Decisions won’t just be based on talent, but to offer the audience variety.
The group has around 4,000 members as well as a vibrant and supportive Facebook community for playwrights, screenwriters, script readers, actors, filmmakers and theatrical producers, at any stage of their career and wherever they live.
