This event has concluded.

Taking place on 17 to 18 July, the 2021 edition of the 24-Hour Playwriting Competition will introduce meal delivery for the first time, bringing participants together in a shared space, as well as shared experiences. Being apart, after all, need not be lonely. The Telegram platform will also be used for the first time, to facilitate open communication throughout the 24 hours, amongst fellow participants and the organisers.

Going digital certainly has its benefits. Last year one of the judges was Singaporean playwright and director, Kaylene Tan, who is based in Melbourne, Australia. This year, we invite Singaporean playwright and director and former Artistic Director of Teater Ekamatra, Zizi Majid, from New York. Together with Zizi, one of the most prolific women playwrights in Singapore and educator, Jean Tay, as well as director and writer Sim Yan Ying “YY” complete the team of three women judges.
