Nation competition
Terry Pratchett's novel Nation has been adapted by Mark Ravenhill and will be performed at the National Theatre this winter. Enter our competition for young scriptwriters, aspiring film-makers and theatre fanatics by adapting an extract from Nation, and producing a three-minute YouTube clip inspired by it. The winning entries from each category - 10-14 and 15-17 - will have their short films re-shot and screened as part of the National Theatre's NT Live event on 30 January 2009, when the play will be broadcasted live by satellite to more than 300 cinemas around the world.
