MTC's Artistic Staff served as judges and selected the winning script. The winning script will be presented as a staged reading with professional actors and a professional director at MTC.
The Teen Advisory Board spent six weeks reviewing the submissions. The process was blinded (the readers did not know the playwright's name or school). Teen Board members who submitted plays did not participate in the selection process.
