E-Branch Participation
ESU National Shakespeare Competition

No branch? No problem!

The English-Speaking Union uses today’s technology to reach high school students, teachers, and schools across the United States.

The ESU National Shakespeare Competition is open to students nationwide, regardless of location. Schools without a participating local ESU branch may enter through the E-Branch program by submitting student performance videos for adjudication. A panel of judges selects one E-Branch winner to advance to the ESU National Shakespeare Competition Finals in New York City, where they compete alongside winners from nearly 50 ESU branches across the country.
