Couples Courthouse Script
The topic for this contest is: Make debating disagreements in marriage a criminal offense.
Write a "Courthouse" Script Contest
Take a common disagreement between couples and treat it like a criminal case, with you as the prosecuting attorney of the side you are on. (Please keep it light and fun. Nothing too serious)
Make sure both sides are equally represented.
For instance, if you are a woman with a complaint that your husband never takes you anywhere, then you word it as if you are talking to the jury trying to convict the husband of this crime. It will be fun to see what the jurors (reviewers) have to say and which side they are on.
As the prosecutor, you must remind the jury (reviewer) to start your review with "guilty or not guilty." Then have them tell you why they decided that way. And of course the normal review and comments.
This is a topic based contest. Write a story based on the topic provided in the the announcement.
Creative approaches are welcomed. But contest voters will be asked to consider the topic when making a choice for a winner.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 25.00 member dollars. There are 13 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 90.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Tuesday, April 25, 2023.
