The Michael and Joan Kornblit 10-minute Playwriting Competition offered by Jewish Theatre of Oklahoma
As we usher in Mothers’ Day 2022, Jewish Theatre of Oklahoma (JTO) invites playwrights to take a reverent but realistic view of some of the greater and lesser-known mothers in the Hebrew Bible. While it’s simple to see mothers as beacons of goodness, nurturers, and dedicated followers of God, sometimes mothers need to break bonds, commit sins, and even rebel against God. In our first “Mother’s in the Bible” festival, “Smart Women, Tough Choices,” JTO asks playwrights to explore the complexities of motherhood through stories about the strengths, weaknesses, successes, and failures of mothers that fill the pages of the Hebrew Bible. o Deadline: February 15 o Application Fee: None o Eligibility: Requesting monologues and/or one-acts from playwrights around the globe dealing with Mothers in the Hebrew Bible. All entries must be under 10 minutes. Anything that reads longer than 10 minutes will not be considered. Limit three submissions per playwright. Those selected for production will each receive a $100 prize. Selected pieces will be announced by March 15, 2022.

They have awarded us a grant allowing us to directly fund more artists and help them educate anyone about Web Monetization as an emerging and potential revenue stream. One that doesn't rely on advertising, pay walls, and bad data privacy practices. It's an innovative way forward to help build a healthier internet. Web Monetization is a new and open technology that aims to provide a better way to access and financially reward creators through streaming micropayments - aka tiny fractions of a penny - to instantly flow to artists and creators as people read, watch and listen to their work. While we want to support artists now with immediate financial assistance, we also want to help support the future financial opportunities for all artists. So this is why we’ve built a learning component into our grant application process. We will also be releasing a series of Web Monetization tutorials that will dive deeper into how you can make it part of your online world. o Deadline: Ongoing o Eligibility: Be 18+ Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident in the United States, District of Columbia, or U.S. Territories (e.g. citizen, green card holder, and/or permanent resident who can provide a W9 and SSN or ITIN).
