National Youth Monologues: Where Young Talent Takes Centre Stage. Have you got what it takes to be crowned the best actor in the country?

A new competition for young people from 9 to 19 years old. Ran in conjunction with Ambassador Theatre Group - the world's largest live-theatre company - and the Federation of Drama Schools.

The National Youth Monologues are on the hunt for the most powerful monologues, performed by the most talented young actors — and we're giving you the chance to have your work seen online and live at our National Final on a West End stage!

The competition gives you the opportunity to perform and watch the UK’s most exciting solo actors do their thing.

• Want to perform bold, up-to-date pieces from today’s leading playwrights?
• Fancy flexing your classical muscless and bringing Shakespeare’s words to life?
• Love the screen? Show off your skills with iconic speeches from film and TV.
• Or maybe you want to create something original — devise or write your own monologue?

With the National Youth Monologues, you can do any of these — or all four!  Enter as many categories as you like.

Take your shot at becoming a Regional Winner in your age group and category — or go all the way and be crowned a National Winner.

With expert industry judges and support from some amazing organisations, the National Youth Monologues gives you the platform to show the UK just how talented you are.
