Youths wishing to hone their acting skills and stand a chance of winning prizes valued at R50 000 can still enter the third online KKNK Dramaweb SA competition.
According to founder and organiser Ira Blanckenberg, the competition aims to build on all aspects of acting, and to develop and create a nurturing environment for growth in which participants can experience the wonder of the stage, each other, and hone their talents in front of an online audience.
Learners can participate by entering video recordings for the competition in one or more of the following categories: prose, poems, monologues, mime and choral speaking. Learners will participate against their peers countrywide. Feedback will be sent to each participant for every item by professional actors working in the industry.
The prizes, to a total value of R50 000, include two paid-for voice contracts from BiB, gift vouchers, gift bags and branded products from PNA; i-Glide hoverboards from Exclusive Brands Online, gift hampers and “unboxing” YouTube video opportunities from Yokico, gift vouchers from Bargain Books, gift vouchers from N1 City Mall, make-up gift hampers from Revlon, Volkano bluetooth speakers from Dischem, gift vouchers from Wimpy Cape Gate, gift hampers from Clippa Sales and gift vouchers from Vida e caffé.
Applications for KKNK Dramaweb SA close on Saturday 30 April and the entry fee is R170 per item. Video recordings of participants can be uploaded to www.dramawebsa.co.za until Tuesday 10 May.
Participation can be in Afrikaans or English, and own material may be chosen for all items. The finals for Afrikaans items will be on Saturday 18 June and for English items on Sunday 19 June. Both finals will be live-streamed.
