| Whiting Writers Awards | Updated November 17th, 2008 |
|
The MRS. GILES WHITING FOUNDATION is dedicated to the support of the humanities and of creative writing. Since 1985, the Foundation has supported creative writing through the Whiting Writers Awards which are given annually to ten emerging writers in fiction, nonfiction, poetry and plays. The awards are based on accomplishment and promise. Candidates are proposed by nominators from across the country whose experience and vocations bring them in contact with individuals of extraordinary talent. Winners are chosen by a selection committee, a small group of recognized writers, literary scholars, and editors, appointed annually by the Foundation. Both nominators and selectors serve anonymously. The Foundation does not accept applications to the Writers' Program. The Whiting Writers’ Awards are intended for emerging writers. We hope to identify exceptional new writers who have yet to make their mark in the literary culture. The award is highly competitive. Up to ten awards will be made from approximately 90 to 100 nominations. Nominators are literary professionals across the country representing all literary genres who are likely to know about emerging writers at the beginning of promising careers. The majority are writers, often teachers as well, and the list has included editors, agents, critics, bookstore owners, reading series organizers, dramaturgs, and artistic directors of theaters. Nominators are contacted by the foundation and are each asked to nominate one emerging writer of exceptional talent and promise. The roster of nominators changes annually, although some nominators have served more than once. send: Complete MS looking for: Any specifically: Literary |

| Slamdance Horror Screenplay Competition | Updated November 17th, 2008 |
|
Slamdance, Angel Baby Entertainment and Maverick Red are hungry for blood, so we're pitting the best horror screenplays against each other in a fight to the death. The Grand Prize Winner will have their screenplay made into a feature motion picture. Rights to the winning screenplay will be purchased by Angel Baby Entertainment and Maverick Red and a feature film produced in association with Slamdance. The finished film will screen at the Slamdance Film Festival. Fill out application/entry form ONLINE. The Writer will receive an upfront payment of $10,000 for all screenplay rights (against 5% of the film's budget) as part of a purchase agreement for the screenplay rights. The screenplay will be produced by Angel Baby Entertainment and Maverick Red and in association with Slamdance. All submitted screenplays are in the running for the $1,000 Creative Excellence Award, including those not willing to sign the Purchase Agreement. The first reader will determine whether the screenplay will be passed on to the second round of the competition. Over half of the screenplays submitted make it to Round Two. From those screenplays the top finalists will be selected by Slamdance readers and sent to Angel Baby Entertainment and Maverick Red. Producers will select the Grand Prize Winner. Any writer not interested in signing a "Purchase Agreement" will be in the running for the Creative Excellence Award. send: Complete MS looking for: Screenplay specifically: Horror |
