Started in 2006, the Harvardwood Screenplay Competition was created to give emerging Harvard writers the opportunity to gain industry exposure and to recognize superior work.

Based on the success of last year’s competition, the contest this year, retitled as the Harvardwood Writers' Competition, will once again include three categories –

1) Feature screenplays (90-120 pp., all genres)
2) Television pilots (30-min and 60-min, all genres)
3) One-act plays (40-min maximum, no minimum)

The deadline for submissions will be Sunday JULY 31. Scripts will be evaluated by industry professionals, and winners in each category will be announced no later than September 1. First-place writers will receive a small cash award, free admission to the 2011-12 writers’ program, and a series of informational meetings with Harvardwood industry contacts, tailored to career trajectory and needs.
