YOUNG SOUTHERN WRITERS PROGRAM
HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE STUDENTS
MARCH 17–19, 2023

THE 2023 APPLICATION DEADLINE HAS PASSED 

Learn more about playwriting and write a play of your own with a professional playwright commissioned by ASF! Students will be selected by a special committee of theatre professionals to spend the week at ASF during our Southern Writers Festival 2023. Young writers will have the opportunity to learn from a playwright who has mastered their craft, and they’ll participate in a 10-Minute Play Festival. At the conclusion of the 10-Minute Play Festival, one student will be honored with a Critics Choice Award, which will be voted on by a panel of professional playwrights.

GUIDELINES:

• High School students (grades 9–12) and College students (18+) may apply.
• Applications must be submitted by January 31, 2023.
• Students with experience in creative writing preferred, but not required.
• At least ONE letter of reference from a teacher or adult not in your family.
• Applicants who do not complete the entire application or submit supplemental documents will not be considered.
