Mission and Vision of the QUEER EXPRESSION WRITING CONTEST FOR STAGE AND SCREEN
Sponsored by Open Space Arts, the QUEER EXPRESSION WRITING CONTEST FOR STAGE AND SCREEN celebrates and champions the richness and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community through the transformative arts of screenwriting and playwriting. This contest uplifts unique voices and stories that reflect the complexities, joys, and challenges of queer life, offering a vital platform for underrepresented narratives.
The QUEER EXPRESSION WRITING CONTEST FOR STAGE AND SCREEN serves as a beacon of empowerment, empathy, and celebration, reaching audiences within and beyond the LGBTQ+ community. By showcasing outstanding scripts and fostering meaningful dialogue, the contest plays a crucial role in advancing a more inclusive and equitable world.
Beginning in January 2025, the contest will accept submissions in multiple categories, including short and feature-length screenplays, television and series scripts, one-act and full-length stage plays, and more.
Writers at all stages of their careers are invited to participate and help shape a future where diverse stories are celebrated and shared.
Selected works may have the opportunity for a reading or staged presentation as part of QUEER EXPRESSION events.
Winners and honorable mentions will be featured on the QUEER EXPRESSION website and social media channels.
