#CulturePH - Calling All Aspiring Playwrights: Apply for the Virgin Labfest XX Writing Fellowship Program

Are you a young, aspiring playwright with a passion for dramatic writing? The Virgin Labfest XX Writing Fellowship Program (VLF XX WFP) is now accepting applications until April 30, 2025. This is your chance to hone your skills and learn from the best in the industry!

A Unique Opportunity

The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), through its Artist Training Division, is spearheading the VLF XX WFP, a two-week mentorship program dedicated to the study and practice of dramatic writing for the stage. This program is open to applicants aged 18 to 29 who are either college students or young professionals. If you haven't been involved in or won any professional playwriting or screenwriting platforms, and can commit to full days throughout the program, rehearsals, and performance for the Culminating Showcase, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Interested applicants must submit a completed application form, which can be downloaded at bit.ly/VLF20WFPFellowshipApplication, along with one or two samples of their stage plays (maximum of 10 pages total) in PDF format, written in either Filipino or English. Submit these requirements via email to ccp.vlfwfp@gmail.com with the subject heading “VLF 20 WFP - ” by 11 PM on April 30.

What to Expect

Accepted fellows will be announced on May 20, 2025, and will participate in a series of lectures, discussions, and workshops about playwriting and script critiquing. Perks include tickets to festival plays, opportunities to participate in talkbacks with renowned playwrights and directors, and a chance to showcase their newly acquired writing skills in the Virgin Labfest XX Writing Fellowship Program Showcase on June 29, 2025.

Program Details

The fellowship will run from June 17 to 29, 2025, and will be conducted through a hybrid setup with online sessions via Zoom and onsite meetings at the CCP. Full details of the program can be viewed on the CCP Arts Education Program Facebook page.
