With over 100,000 working actors, the need for high quality audition monologues is greater than ever and actors are turning to the internet to find material. For example, 1.5 million people search for monologues online every month!

Enter AuditionArt's Monologue Playwriting Contest, which is adjudicated by the Bloomington Playwrights Project, an organization devoted to playwrights for the past 32 years. The mission of this contest: create the strongest monologue audition database available for actors by connecting them with the original and talented voices of skilled playwrights - that's you.
