The New Jersey Young Playwrights Contest is an annual contest that celebrates young writers from across the state of New Jersey, open to New Jersey students only. Each year playscripts are submitted to the contest and a panel of theatre professionals choose winning entries from four different divisions. In the past those plays have been given public readings and performances by professional actors and directors.
