GOT A STORY?
LET’S PUT IT ON STAGE.
Your idea. Your script. A $500 prize.
Got a wild idea, a story you can’t stop thinking about, or a scene you wish existed? Write it!
Page 2 Stage is your chance to turn an idea into a script—with real mentors to help you make it happen. You don’t need to be an expert writer. You don’t even need a finished script. Just bring an idea. We’ll help you build it.
🏆 $500 for the winning script.
✍️ $100 for all finalists.
🎭 Open to high school students. Anyone can enter.
Talk to your teachers, bring your ideas, and take your shot.
YOUR STORY. YOUR STAGE.
Your draft script submission must:
-
Be an original work
-
Have four or fewer characters.
-
Require minimal props, costumes, settings, and effects.
-
Have a maximum length of 12 pages.
It does NOT need to be finished -- if you're chosen as a finalist, you'll develop your draft into a final version with help from a mentor.
