Deadline March 31, 2026
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 March 2026 is a chicken rebellion prompt:
Write a 10-page maximum scene of a chicken fight where the roosters fight back against their masters. It could take place in ‘Ewa, Waipahu, wherever really. The police could even arrive to help the people being attacked. Anything goes.
