Call for Submissions: Deathscribe 2017 The 10th Annual Festival of Horror Plays Seeks New Scares

Call for Submissions: Deathscribe 2017 The 10th Annual Festival of Horror Plays Seeks New Scares

by Summer Brooks | June 1, 2017 Leave a Comment

Check it out, fans of horror and radio plays — Deathscribe is now open for submissions to this year’s festival! You have until July 31st to submit your story, else wait until next year’s competition.

Every year they seek out 10-minute radio scripts that are genuinely scary, imaginative, chilling, intelligent, suspenseful, horrific or downright grotesque. Writers may submit up to two radio plays to Deathscribe in any given year. Five scripts will be selected from all submissions. These five pieces will be performed on stage in front of a live audience. The writer of the winning piece, chosen by a celebrity panel of judges, will receive the coveted Bloody Axe Award, as well as a $100 cash prize.

For more details, and to submit your radio play, go to http://www.wildclawtheatre.com/deathscribe/

In 2016 Deathscribe moved from its previous haunt to Lincoln Hall, 2424 N Lincoln Avenue in Chicago. This year’s festival will take place on Monday, December 4th.
