This gives actors a big promotion as many will watch your monologue.

Last year was very successful. 50 entered, but that was just children and young adults. This year we have expanded to include everyone.

Let’s make it even more this year.

If you didn’t win last year don’t give up because it was really close in some cases so please try again. Previous winners can also win again.

The winners will be promoted across Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

2.Believability and natural performance

3.Voice, expression, inflection and pace

4. Facial expressions

5. Use of hands and body to enhance the performance

6. Overall standard of the performance

2. Share and retweet our posts as much as possible to increase the prize amounts and encourage more people to enter.

3. Perform any monologue, length up to 3 minutes and upload to youtube.

Make sure you have the setting on public. Add the hashtag #yamic 0-25yrs) or #mamic (25-100yrs)

Or you can upload directly to you tube and post to my pinned tweet if you dont have a you tube channel, but monologues need to be 2.20 mins max.

5. You can use a monologue you have previously made but the fun and challenge is to make a new one.

6. Share your link on my twitter feed to as many people as possible and get them to vote for you on twitter. The person with the most hearts (likes) will win an audience favourite prize. People can only vote once and we will do random checks to see if people are voting for more than one. You cannot vote for your own monologue.

7. Do not send me monologues or upload them elsewhere and send a link. These will be disqualified if not agreed in advance. I may do an fb place you can post them as an alternative if enough need it.
