Monologue Challenge

The monologue challenge is a program run by the Women In Film Organisation which is designed to promote and support women in the film industry.

The Monologue Challenge encourages aspiring actresses to showcase their talents. It aims to attract and identify new and seasoned talent while rewarding excellence and exceptional performances.

HOW IT WORKS

Record your monologue — Practice and record your monologue as many times as you’d like until you feel ready and confident to record!

Submit your link – Once you have recorded your monologue, simply share a link to the video via our submission form on the Women in Film website and wait for feedback!
