Description
The PAGE Awards were established by an alliance of Hollywood producers, agents, and development execs. Our goal: To discover the most talented new screenwriters from across the country and around the world. And due to the success of our winning writers, the PAGE Awards have rapidly become one of the most important sources for new screenwriting talent within the Hollywood community and worldwide.
One of the most frustrating things about so many screenwriting contests – both for the writers and for the judges – is that scripts of different genres are in competition with each other. But how can you compare a comedy to an action script? How do you rank a family film against a thriller? Moreover, why is it that most contests reward the screenwriter who creates a powerful drama, while most of the movies actually produced in Hollywood are comedies, thrillers, action flicks and family films?
To address this problem, and to encourage a wide variety of screenwriting talent, each year the PAGE Awards judges present a total of 31 prizes to screenwriters in ten different genre categories:
Action/Adventure
Comedy
Drama
Family Film
Historical Film
Science Fiction
Thriller/Horror
Short Film
TV Drama Pilot
TV Sitcom Pilot
Most importantly, the PAGE Awards competition is judged entirely by industry professionals, so all contestants have the opportunity to get their scripts "through the door" and into the hands of working professionals currently in search of new talent.
