Since 2000, it’s been our goal to work closer with screenwriters. For the first annual program, we are proud to announce Bill Phillips as the judge. Mr. Phillips is an Ace Awardee, Edgar and Emmy nominated screenwriter and director. He is also the head of Northern Lights Productions. For more, follow the link to his bio in the Contest Details box.
As with everything SFWP does, this is about the community effort. Help us get the first year of this program off the ground — we’re looking forward to some great screenwriting, and are very excited to be branching out into this new domain.
The 2010 Screenwriting Program will be managed similarly to the 2010 Literary Awards. Read the general guidelines and FAQ’s, and we prefer that you submit your entry online.
We will be accepting screenplays of any genre, regardless of the subject matter. Screenplays will be judged on readability as well as potential marketability.
Stay tuned as the program develops.
