PAGE International Screenwriting Awards

The PAGE International Screenwriting Awards is an annual writing competition founded in 2003 with the stated mission to discover and promote up-and-coming screenwriters from around the world. The contest is judged by Hollywood producers, development executives and representatives who are looking for new projects and new clients. Each year in October, they present 31 awards and more than $50,000 in cash and prizes to the scripts they think are the most creative, well-written, and marketable. Entries are categorized by genre, with winners in each of the 10 sub-competitions vying for a Grand Prize.

After winning the PAGE Awards competition, many screenwriters have signed with agents and managers, obtained TV writing assignments, signed option agreements on their scripts and/or had their films produced.
