This competition seeks to recognize and honor the Southern experience and the legacy of Columbus’s native son, Tennessee Williams, through the craft of playwriting.
The top three playwrights will receive a cash prize, a festival pass, and have their 10-minute plays produced as a stage reading in front of a live audience at the Tennessee Williams Tribute Festival. Directors and actors will be students from the Mississippi University for Women Department of Theatre. First place winner will also be interviewed and the winning play published in the Fall issue of Ponder Review.
