Bay Street Theater has extended the deadline for “Writing The Wave: The 2022 New Works Creative Writing Competition,” a contest open to all teens ages 13 and up across Suffolk County, through Sunday, April 24. The writing competition is organized as part of “Title Wave: The 2022 New Works Festival” which is scheduled to take place at Bay Street May 6 through 8. Student submissions must be original work written by the applicant, and can take the form of poetry, spoken word, rap, monologue, song, or short scene.
“Writing The Wave: The 2022 New Works Creative Writing Competition” is an opportunity for area teens to explore their passions as authors, poets, artists, songwriters and playwrights, giving them a chance of having their words read by professionals of the screen and stage. Of the works submitted, three finalists will be selected by a panel of judges and will receive a certificate of achievement.
Prizes will be awarded to three finalists in the form of cash prizes, Bay Street Mainstage subscriptions and festival passes to the New Works Festival. Those with additional questions can contact Director or Education and Community Outreach Allen O’Reilly via email at allen@baystreet.org.
