The Worldwide Plays Festival Competition is an annual playwriting competition organized by Writopia Lab for students in grades 3–12, challenging participants to write original ten-minute plays inspired by a yearly theme. Submitted plays must feature meaningful character relationships and meet specific staging requirements, with selected works performed live over multiple days at a festival in New York City. It is an exceptional opportunity for young playwrights to see their original work brought to life on stage before a real audience.
