If you answered YES, then what are you waiting for? The American Black Film Festival’s Star Project contest may be your big break. The ABFF Star Project is an acting competition that strives to encourage serious pursuit of the craft of acting by spotlighting undiscovered talent.
Each year, a male and female thespian is crowned. Entrants are required to submit a taped recording of two monologue performances: 1) a 2 to 3 minute monologue of their choice, and 2) the assigned female or male monologue. THIS YEAR’S SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS MAY 2.
Contest winners will receive an all-expense-paid trip to the 2011 ABFF (July 6-9) in Miami, Florida, where they will be introduced to the festival audience during the ABFF Awards Presentation.
Additionally, the winners are afforded the opportunity to audition for a leading casting director and one person will be selected to participate in a walk on role on Days of Our Lives.
Eligibility:
The Star Project is open to African Americans, persons of African descent, Latinos, Asians and Native Americans who are at least eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of entry.
Judging & Determination of Finalist and Winners:
Submissions are judged by The Star Project Jury, a panel of accomplished actors, directors and casting executives. Six finalists, three men and three women, will be selected followed by one male and one female winner.

GOOD LUCK!
It’s about time.
