The Board of Directors of the Playwrights Theater is proud to announce the winners of 2008 Plays for the 21^st Century competition. The proud winners are:

1^st Place	$500 Winner	Trojan Barbie	by Christine Evans

This year we received a small number of one-act plays compared with 2007. We were pleased overall with the quality of the plays and selected a winner and an honorable mention. In the One Act Play category, we are proud to include:

1^st Place	$200 Winner	Tasteless Tomatoes	by Jais Brohinsky
Honorable Mention	No Cash Award	Ezekiel's Airship	by Jefferson Helton

These amounts may be modified as the Board reviews our expenses. Modest increases are possible.

We are an all-volunteer organization. No one - not even our excellent reviewers - is paid for their time and expertise. The Board wishes to thank everyone in the organization for their devotion to our joint cause. Providing constructive feedback to writers of all stripes is a challenge but it has always been our primary objective. None of it would work without our wonderful volunteers.

This has been a long process for all of us and we are immensely proud of the work we have done these past ten years. It is with profound sadness that we announce the Board's decision to suspend the competition indefinitely. We depend completely on the goodwill of our volunteers. Unfortunately, shifting family responsibilities makes it impossible for key members of the Board to continue their support. Efforts to recruit and train new volunteers in sufficient numbers proved unsuccessful. The Board believes it is best to suspend the competition rather than risk a drop in quality. We will email everyone in our database if and when we chose to resurrect the competition, so please keep your profiles accurate.

SUBMITTERS: If you are unable to view your reviewer comments, please write to us at information_please@sbcglobal.net. We will make those available to you as soon as possible.

We Wish You All a Safe and Prosperous New Year!

We Thank All of Our Submitters for Their Support!

Best of Luck!

Sincerely,
JACK MARSHALL
