1000 Monkeys Project — YYC Fringe
Alberta Playwrights’ Network
Submission deadline: June 20, 2024
Over the past couple of years we have hosted with the Calgary Fringe the 1000 Monkeys Project – a 24-hour playwriting marathon.
The 2024 1000 Monkeys Project will be an open competition for Calgary and area playwrights to submit a new 10-minute play.
Submissions will be accepted until June 20, 2024. The submissions will be read and 5 plays will be selected for a public staged reading at the Calgary Fringe.
Selected writers will be paid $150 for their work.
Submission Guidelines:
- All plays must be 10 minutes in length (approximately 8 to 10 pages). We are looking for complete 10 minute plays and not scenes from other plays.
- All submitted plays must be unproduced.
- The plays must be able to be read by a maximum of four actors (if you have more than four characters, you must provide instructions as per the double casting of roles).
- Playwrights can enter a maximum of two plays for the competition.
- Plays must be received by 11:59pm MT on June 20, 2024.
- Plays must be submitted in PDF format.
- Plays must be written in 12pt font.
- Please include a cover letter with contact information and a brief biography.
- DO NOT include your name or any other personal information on the script itself. The selection committee judges the plays blind with no knowledge of who the writer is.
Submissions can be made via email to 1000monkeys@albertaplaywrights.com.
