International Playwriting Monodrama Competition 2008

The theme is "Clash", and the submission deadline is March 31, 2008, for the International Playwriting Monodrama Competition 2008. The International Playwrights Forum and International Monodrama Forum of the International Theater Institute, in collaboration with United Arab Emirates Center of the ITI in Fujairah, invites playwrights to write monodramas inspired by whatever "Clash" may mean to them. The play has to be a monodrama: written for one performer. Each playwright may submit only one monodrama that should be approximately 45 to 70 minutes long, 20 to 40 pages, and 1800 characters (with spaces) per page. There's no entry fee for this interesting event.
