Fancy yourself as a scriptwriter?

Teachers’ TV, in partnership with the National Union of Teachers, is launching a national competition to find the best screen writers of the staffroom.

School staff who are budding screenwriters or simply have an interesting story to tell can win the chance of having their script performed by a well known actor for a special Teachers’ TV series Staffroom Monologues. As part of their prize, four winning writers will also have the chance to spend time developing their script with one of the UK’s top scriptwriters, Tony Marchant. The winning writer, as chosen by a select judging panel, will then be invited to see their monologue being filmed for broadcast by Teachers’ TV later in the year.

To enter, budding script writers that work in education (paid or voluntary) are asked to submit a single character fictional monologue of between 800 to 1,000 words by 26 February 2007 on any aspect of school life from the perspective of someone who works in a school. Full details and entry criteria are available from http://www.teachers.tv/monologues.

Thanks for flagging that up - I'd have missed it otherwise.
