SUBMISSIONS CLOSED - we may open them again in future
We're very excited to be developing a program that will bring Short+Sweet to high schools and provide an income to writers! We are looking to build a script bank of work to potentially include in the program.
We're after 10 minute plays which are suitable for teenagers, with a social consciousness message that young people will click with. If we end up using your script, you'll be paid a royalty.
