Palm Springs Desert Sun

The Palm Springs Young Playwrights Festival, a local nonprofit that promotes and encourages theatrical creative writing, is now accepting submissions for the ninth annual Palm Springs Young Playwrights Festival.

Submissions will be accepted through March 6, 2026, from students enrolled in any elementary, middle or high school in Riverside County. Once the submission window closes, a selection committee will review all manuscripts and choose the most outstanding plays. Each winner will receive a mentorship to enhance their play, a free public staged reading with professional actors and a $500 scholarship to help further their career in the arts. Winning plays will be announced by March 20, 2026.
