Against the Grain Theater Festival (AGTF) is in the process of promoting a playwriting competition that is aimed at high school and college students from Buffalo to Raleigh. With the help of a Kickstarter campaign that generated over $10,000 for the top entries, AGTF has put out a call to blossoming playwrights, to submit their original works, which, if chosen, will be funded (for readings in Buffalo during August 17 – 22, 2015)
Playwrights from the ages 13 to 18 that are not currently in high school can still enter the competition by submitting directly to AGTF. The same applies for playwrights between the ages of 19 and 23 who are not currently attending college or university (graduate students are also welcome to submit).
