[Candrama] Fwd: Robert Beardsley Playwriting Contest for Students 25 and Under

[PGC Membership Rebecca Burton]

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to you to let you know about a playwriting contest opportunity
available to students, aged 25 years and under in the Toronto area.

PGC has an annual awards program called the Tom Hendry Awards. This is
composed of a number of monetary awards for playwrights, but there is one
in particular that is designed specifically for students: "The Robert
Beardsley Award" (*deadline of May 16, 2017*).

Here is a brief description to provide some context, (or click here
<http://www.playwrightsguild.ca/tom-hendry-awards> ):

*The Arts and Letters Club of Toronto Foundation proudly
announces The Robert Beardsley Award for Young Playwrights. This award is
to be granted to a full-time secondary or post-secondary student within the
GTA, for the creation of a one-act play script.*

*An entrant to the competition will be a student, under the age of 25 at
time of submission, who is enrolled as a full-time student in an
educational institution recognized by the Ontario Department of Education
(Secondary or Post-Secondary) within the Greater Toronto Area. The
submission selected by the Committee shall be awarded a monetary prize of
$500.00. Applicants for this award DO NOT need to be PGC members. If you
are applying for this award and are not a member, you will receive a PGC
Student Membership once your submission has been received. Past Recipients
for this award include Luke Reece, Remi Long, Elizabeth Ransom, Rosamund
Small, John Rowntree, Aviva Philipp-Muller, **and Erum Khan (Honourable
Mention). Deadline: May 16, 2017.*
It would be great if you could share this with any students who might be
interested and/or other people who can share this opportunity in their
classrooms.
