Anyone anywhere in the world.
During the Qualifiers, participants post their videos online and submit their entry via our site. Our judges pick the best performances in each category in each country to perform in our Regional Livestreams, with the best of the best heading to our Global Finals.
All registered actors will be sent information on how to participate.
What are the categories?
World Monologue Games has categories based on monologue duration, pro/amateur status and age. The main categories are:
- Main Professional: 1-2.5 mins
- Main Amateur: 1-2.5 mins
- Endurance: 5-10 mins (18+ only)
- Sprint: 45 - 60 secs
- Youth: (12-17): 1-2.5 mins
- Tiger: (up to 11)*: 1-2.5 mins
* Parental permission required for Youth and Tiger categories.
WMG is proud to be able to offer prizes to our winners. We are still in conversations for sponsors for 2022 at this stage so more details will be announced here at a later point.
A massive shoutout to Nyaka Chana and Arts Business Academy, who donated almost $5,000 in 2021.
Do we have to perform in English?
No. You can perform in any language you like. In 2020, three of the six category winners didn't perform in English!
Up to you. You can choose whichever country you would like to represent. But you can't pick more than one country.
When you submit your video, you can update your country.
No, it needs to be a new recording dated 1st May 2022 or later. This competition is about the work you create for the competition, not something you filmed in the past.
When are submissions due?
While this is subject to change at this moment, we are looking at this schedule:
- Open for submissions in May
- Deadline will be in June
See our timeline for more details.
Do the best you can.
At a minimum, we need to be able to see and hear you clearly. While we won't be judging you based on the video quality, poor footage certainly won't help.
How can I contact you for any other enquiries?
Email our Founder Pete Malicki via email here.

Youth
If you are under 18 on 11 July 2022, you must enter the Youth category.

Anything you want. You can write it or find it - up to you.
Note that you must get the author's permission before you submit, unless the work is out of copyright. If you want to use a monologue from a play, TV show, movie etc., you will have to contact the writer for permission – looking up their website or social media will often work. If you can't get permission, you unfortunately will need to find another piece.
Our website has lots of monologues (short and long) you're welcome to use, and we have new material coming out all the time.
Only one restriction on content: no monologues about Coronavirus (explicit or implied). Let's make World Monologue Games an enjoyable distraction from the horrible situation most of the world is (still) suffering from.
