| Garrard Best Play Contest announced The Five Civilized Tribes Museum in Muskogee announces the Garrard Best Play Contest The contest is open to all playwrights with five tribe’s heritage. Plays must reflex the culture, heritage or traditions of one of the Five Civilized Tribes. No entry fee is required for this event and the deadline for entries is July 31. All entrants must send four copies of their play along with proof of heritage and a biography to the Five Civilized Tribes Museum, 1101 Honor Heights Drive, Muskogee 74401. Plays must not have been previously produced and the copies of the plays will not be returned to the playwright. The winner will read excerpts from their play in Muskogee on Oct. 19. This year’s winner will be awarded $5,000 for their play. In the event no manuscript submitted meets juror standards, the prize becomes cumulative. The Garrard Best Play Competition is endowed in perpetuity, offered in even years, by the Mr. and Mrs. Tom Garrard Estate. It is hoped that the competition will encourage the gifted to give form to their yearning to write and bring to the art and craft of playwriting the dimension of the Seminole, Muscogee Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Cherokee. For more information on this and other events, contact the Five Civilized Tribes Museum at 683-1701 or toll free (877) 587-4237. E-mail 5civilizedtribes@sbc global.net. |
