We invite you to enter the fifth annual PAGE International Screenwriting Awards competition. But don't delay! Your entry must be postmarked or submitted online by Saturday, May 31st in order to be eligible for this year's competition. OUR MISSION The PAGE Awards were established by an alliance of Hollywood producers, agents, and development executives. Our goal: to discover the most exciting new scripts by up-and-coming writers from across the country and around the world. And due to the success of our winning writers, the PAGE Awards competition is rapidly becoming one of the most important sources for new screenwriting talent within the Hollywood community and worldwide. It's a Catch 22. While producers and agents continually complain that they can't find good material, talented writers who live outside Los Angeles and have no "connections" within the movie industry find it virtually impossible to penetrate the barriers of the Hollywood system. Our screenplay contest is designed to bridge that gap – giving new screenwriters the opportunity to get their scripts into the hands of industry professionals, while also serving as a much-needed resource for Hollywood producers, agents, and studio execs who are searching for quality material. ABOUT US The administrators and judges of the PAGE International screenwriting contest are all working professionals in the film and television industry, and they, their partners and associates are always seeking fresh and innovative new projects. They're looking for a wide variety of scripts, so we encourage writers to submit all types of material, and we present awards in ten different genre categories. This year our screenplay contest winners will receive over $30,000 in cash and prizes, including a $10,000 GRAND PRIZE. Most importantly, each year dozens of top producers, agents, and development execs ask to read the winning scripts. As a result, many of our past winners have landed writing assignments, secured representation, and signed option agreements on their work, and several now have movies in various stages of production and release. Among our latest SUCCESS STORIES: Larry Postel sold his 2005 Grand Prize winning comedy X-MAS FILES to a new 3D animation firm in India and the movie is currently in production. Laurie Weltz and Jay C. Key optioned their 2004 Grand Prize winning script to rolmade filmcompany in Germany. Will Finlay optioned his Gold Prize winning script to Galafilm in Montreal. Sarah Skibinski optioned her Gold Prize winning drama to Jo Films in New York. Soon after the results of our 2006 screenwriting contest were announced, Silver Prize winner Christian Parkes was signed by Foremost Films and his movie is now in pre-production. And a few weeks after the 2007 PAGE Awards were announced, Gold Prize winners Amy Garcia and Cecilia Contreras were signed by ICM. RAVE REVIEWS From our winning screenwriters...
