Every year a Selection Committee made up of entertainment professionals meet to select the 12 best plays out of hundreds of submissions from young people across the United States. The winning young playwrights receive mentorship from working writers and have their plays fully staged by professional actors and directors over a monthlong festival in Los Angeles each July.
