Announcing the showbizzle.com Writer Search!
showbizzle.com, the digital showcase and destination website for emerging talent, is looking for new writers to become part of our creative team. The showbizzle.com Writer Search is an open competition to discover and promote talented writers who are looking to have their material produced.
Here's how the showbizzle.com Writer Search works:
- We've posted five character prompts on our site: check them out here
- Choose your favorite prompt, or two, or even five!
- Write a 90-120 second monologue for each prompt you chose (500 words or less)
- Email your monologue(s) to auditions@showbizzle.com - we'll post them on the site, then allow showbizzle.com members to select, or "Like", the monologues they want to see showbizzle.com produce!
Monologues should be written in the conversational style of showbizzle.com's web series, Janey's Blog: your characters should be speaking to Janey. To get a better sense of how the Janey's Blog monologues work, scan the samples at http://showbizzle.com/monologues, and view the "blogisodes" they spawned at http://showbizzle.com/janeysblog!

Members' Choice? showbizzle.com Choice? Say what?
showbizzle.com's competitions are skill-based, but we care deeply about our Members' opinions, so in the end we designate both the Members' Choice and the showbizzle.com Choice. In this case, there can be a Members' Choice and a showbizzle.com Choice for each of the five characters - up to ten in all!
The Members' Choice is decided by showbizzle.com Members: the most "Liked" entry, wins!
The showbizzle.com Choice is determined by the showbizzle.com Selection Team, and is based on the quality and originality of the submission, as well as its use of the character prompt. Can one entry be named both the Members' Choice and the showbizzle.com Choice? But of course!
