| George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism | Updated November 17th, 2008 |
|
With his preamble "it is my object and desire to encourage and assist in developing the art of drama criticism and the stimulation of intelligent playgoing," the late George Jean Nathan provided in his will for a prize known as the George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism. The prize consists of the annual net income of half of Mr. Nathan's estate, which "shall be paid to the American who has written the best piece of drama criticism during the theatrical year (July 1 to June 30), whether it is an article, an essay, treatise or book." The trust is of such size that the prize is the richest and one of the most distinguished in the American theater. The annual award now amounts to $10,000. In addition, the winner receives a trophy symbolic of, and attesting to, the award. Mr. Nathan directed in his will that the prize is “to be awarded annually by a majority vote of the then heads of the English departments of Cornell, Princeton, and Yale Universities.” This committee of three has functioned since the award was established. The chair of the English department of Cornell University heads the selection committee. Those eligible for the award are authors, critics, or reviewers who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States and whose works are published in books, newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals, or in electronic form, or broadcast on television or radio programs. Except for books, all entries for the prize must have been published in the United States. In view of Mr. Nathan’s interest in the current theatre, the selection committee will regard with special interest writings in dramatic criticism dealing with current or recent productions of the legitimate theatre, but the award may also be given for an outstanding work of criticism dealing with drama of the past. It is the aim of the selection committee to foster the spirit of the award by honoring criticism which demonstrates the highest level of critical thinking about theatre. Although the selection committee will make an effort to review publications in which eligible work may appear, any author or publisher may submit eligible entries for the award to the appropriate members of the selection committee whose names and addresses are listed below, up to and including September 1, 2008.* Newspaper and magazine submissions should comprise no more than a dozen articles and include the date and (if appropriate) the name of the publication where the entries appeared. All materials submitted for the 2007-2008 prize must have been published between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008. Send Newspapers, TV, Radio Reviews, and Electronic Publication entries through this market. Submit Books OR Periodical entries through the two other WordHustler listings.

ArtsLink Projects support US artists, curators, presenters and non-profit arts organizations undertaking projects in Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus. Since 1992, ArtsLink has disbursed nearly $1.5 million in ArtsLink Projects awards. Awards are made in a given discipline on an alternate-year basis: 2009 Visual and Media Arts; 2010 Performing Arts and Literature. Applicants must be working with an artist or organization in that region and projects should be designed to benefit participants and audiences in both the US and the host country. In 2009, applications will be accepted from individual artists, presenters, and non-profit arts organizations working in visual and media arts. ArtsLink has a cycle of alternate year deadlines according to discipline. In 2010, applications will be accepted from individual artists, curators, and non-profit arts organizations working in dance, music, literature and theater. Support is provided to: create new work that draws inspiration from interaction with artists and the community in the country visited; establish mutually beneficial exchange of ideas and expertise between artists, arts organizations, and the local community; pursue artistic cooperation that will enrich creative or professional development, or has potential to expand the community's access to the art of other cultures. Examples of eligible ArtsLink Projects: A US choreographer collaborating with an Estonian composer on new work for an Estonian dance company The collaboration between a US translator and Hungarian writer on the translation and compilation of a body of poetry A US playwright conducting a series of workshops with members of the Slovenian theater community A US festival director visiting several Central European theater festivals to see work and present videos of US artists The selection process is extremely competitive. Applicants should anticipate a highly rigorous review of their work and should demonstrate compelling reasons for wanting to work in the selected country. All ArtsLink applications will be evaluated by peer review panels based on the following review criteria: Artistic excellence and merit of the applicant's work; Quality and feasibility of project plan; Potential for interactive dialogue and benefit of proposed project to both US applicant and overseas participants; Project's potential to bring the benefit of the cross-cultural exchange to other artists or audiences in both the US and the international participant's country. Students, scholars, administrators, critics, and amateur groups are not eligible to apply. In addition, projects focusing solely on research, or the production of an audio recording are not elegible. Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States. 2008 ArtsLink Projects awardees are not eligible. 2009 ArtsLink Projects awardees will not be eligible to apply again until 2011.

| Actors Choice Awards | Updated July 09th, 2008 |
|
Today's Hollywood Reader has increasingly more material to examine, and has therefore developed increasingly less tolerance. Because of that, we have decided there is great wisdom in encouraging our writers to become compelling sooner rather than later. We are therefore calling for the first 5 pages of your screenplay. There will be 5 winners. Good luck. Five talented attendees to the Screenwriting Symposium or The Hollywood Connection will receive SCSFe 2008 Actors Choice Awards based on the first 5 pages of their screenplays. These winning pages will be presented in live readings by our actor-judges. Brief critique sessions will follow each reading. As there are no prior announcements of the five winners, these have proven to be exciting evenings. If you choose to participate in the competiton, please include the following: - The first 5 pages of your screenplay (paperclipped). - Title page with title only. - Cover page with title, your name and contact info. - $35 check to SCSFe (or pay when registering). - Signed release form Eligibility: This competition is only open to conference attendees. You must register for either the Screenwriting Symposium or The Hollywood Connection to enter. send: Complete MS looking for: Screenplay |
