Deadline: August 31, 2024
SUBMISSION FORM
We're proud to announce a new monthly playwriting contest in collaboration with Bamboo Ridge Press. Every month, Kumu Kahua's artistic director Harry Wong III will select a writing prompt on the first day of that month. We're looking for 5-page monologues or 10-page scenes based on that prompt; the due date for submissions are always the last day of the month. All entries must be written in traditional play format; instructions on this format can be found here (https://www.dramatistsguild.com/script-formats), courtesy of the Dramatists Guild.
There will be one winner each month. Scripts will be submitted to the judges anonymously. Winners will receive $100 and a subscription to Bamboo Ridge Press. Woo!
The prompt for August 2024 is:
A sporting prompt. First, make up a sport, then write a ten page maximum scene using that sport. The scene should end in a display of either sportsmanlike or unsportsmanlike behavior. Avoid describing the sport you create; assume all the characters know all the rules, subtleties, and history of the sport. All the characters think they know everything about the sport.
Best of luck!
