To unlock more short powerful stories from a diverse range of voices and to chronicle this extraordinary period, M6 are launching a monologue writing competition, open to all writers of any experience, under the title: Love in the Time of Corona.

They are offering 10 prizes of £350 each to the competition winners.

Guidelines 

• Your character should be in lockdown and feel compelled to speak. They may be using technology to communicate.
• Entrants must be over 16 years of age.
• The submitted monologues or single voice plays should be NO MORE than 10 minutes in length. (Plays that run longer than 10 minutes will not be shortlisted, so do a timed reading before submitting your entry)
• They must be original, previously unperformed and unproduced.
• Each entry must be suitable for our audience of children or young people and fall into one of the following targeted age range categories:
  • Cat A: 7-11 yrs
  • Cat B: 12-14 yrs
  • Cat C: 15-18 yrs
  • (N.B This doesn’t mean that the protagonist has to be the same age!)
