Fall 2024 Diversity Screenplay Contest
​
is now open for entries!
Now, more than ever before, the world needs to hear from diverse writers who have important personal perspectives and stories to share with us.
​
We take great pride in and strive to celebrate writers with diverse and under-represented minority perspectives, including those who may be disadvantaged as members of ethnic, religious, racial, LGBTQIA+, disability, or 50+ age groups. 
​​
Subject and theme "agnostic," we are focused on the diversity of writers and the personal generational, racial, ethnic, and sexual orientations they bring to the art and craft of screenwriting

Our Senior Judging Panel is dedicated to finding the best diverse writing talent and to light the path forward to lasting industry success.
