WildClaw Theatre’s DEATHSCRIBE 2013 Call for Entries Extended

August 16:  WildClaw Theatre’s DEATHSCRIBE has extended the deadline for submissions to DEATHSCRIBE 2013, the Sixth Annual International Festival of Radio Horror Plays.  The deadline for DEATHSCRIBE 2013 Submissions has been extended to August 15, 2013.

We are looking for 10-minute radio scripts that are genuinely scary, imaginative, chilling, intelligent, suspenseful, horrific, or downright grotesque.   There are no restrictions as to content or tone, but keep in mind that WildClaw is a Horror Theatre.  We want stories about serial killers, insects, distorted squirrels, cannibals, deep ones, plagues, demonic possessions, dogfish howlers, werewolves, vampires, zombies, aliens, and of course, the monster within.

Visit  http://www.wildclawtheatre.com/wc_html/deathscribe13_submissions.html  for submission rules, regulations, and recordings of previous shows.  This festival is open to all, and there is no fee for submission. Students are welcome and encouraged.  Submission deadline is August 15, 2013.

Shape your fear into a 10-minute radio play and send it to WildClaw Theatre at deathscribe2013@gmail.com.

5 finalists will be selected from all submissions.  Deathscribe selections will be “blind.” The title page should include the title of the script, names of all authors, and the address, phone/fax and email address of the author(s). The subsequent pages must include only the manuscript title and page number and NO identifying personal information (name, address, email, etc.) or it will be disqualified.

There will be a “Bloody Axe” award, with the winner chosen by a celebrity panel of judges on the night of performance.

This is once a year, not-to-be-missed extravaganza of original short radio plays, written by horror enthusiasts from around the globe, produced by some of Chicago’s finest actors, directors, musicians, sound effects artists, plus special guest stars!

Please visit http://www.wildclawtheatre.com/wc_html/deathscribe13_submissions.html for submission rules and regulations.  Please feel free to pass this information along to any interested party.
