Discovery Award Program

Deadline: April 15, 2004

The VSA arts ( http://www.vsaarts.org/ <http://www.vsaarts.org/> )

Playwright

Discovery Award program is designed to challenge middle and high school

students of all abilities to take a closer look at the world around

them, examine how disability affects their lives and the lives of

others, and express their views through the art of playwriting.

Two scripts are selected for professional production at the F.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Award recipients each receive a

$1,000 scholarship award and a trip to Washington, D.C., to view the

production. To be eligible for the program, playwrights must be a middle

or high student (grades 6 through 12, or equivalent) and a citizen or

permanent resident of the U.S. Entries must be original, unproduced, and

unpublished.

VSA arts also offers the Playwright Discovery Teacher Award to recognize

middle and high school teachers who creatively bring disability

awareness to the classroom through the art of playwriting. One teacher

will be selected to receive funds to purchase playwriting resources and

a trip to Washington, D.C., to be honored at the Kennedy Center.

For complete program guidelines and to download a resource guide on

developing students' playwriting skills, see the VSA arts Web site.
