    The way you treat the writers who enter the PAGE Awards is nothing short of exceptional and is really heartwarming. It's been a fantastic experience being part of your screenwriting competition, which I would rate as the most professional I've ever been involved with.

Our 2013 screenplay contest will open for entries in December!

Now celebrating our 9th anniversary year, the PAGE International Screenwriting Awards competition was established in the fall of 2003 by an alliance of Hollywood producers, agents, and development executives. Our goal: to discover the most exciting new scripts by up-and-coming writers from across the country and around the world.

Due to the success of our winning writers, the PAGE Awards have now become one of the most important sources for new screenwriting talent within the Hollywood community and worldwide.

OUR MISSION

It’s a Catch 22… While producers and agents continually complain that they can’t find good material, talented writers who live outside Los Angeles and have no “connections” within the movie industry find it virtually impossible to penetrate the barriers of the Hollywood system.

The PAGE International Screenwriting Awards contest was designed to bridge that gap – giving new screenwriters the opportunity to get their scripts into the hands of industry professionals, while also serving as a much-needed resource for Hollywood producers, agents, and studio execs who are searching for quality material.

Among our latest Success Stories:

  • 2011 Grand Prize winner Pat White has been signed by Brandy Rivers at Magnet Management, and Pat is now developing the book version of her award-winning script Escape for publication.
  • 2011 PAGE Award winner Laurelei Ballard has been signed by PAGE Judge Sammy Montana, and Laurelei’s Bronze Prize-winning TV Pilot This Town has been optioned by Fox Studios, with Paul Schiff and Tai Duncan attached as Executive Producers.
  • Ray Liotta stars in the 2010 Bronze Prize-winning thriller Bad Karma, by Steve Allrich. Produced by Zero Gravity Productions and directed by Suri Krishnamma, the movie was recently filmed in Australia and is now in post-production. It will be distributed by Anchor Bay Films.
  • After his 2010 win, Gold Prize winner John Scott III was signed by CAA, and his award-winning script Maggie is currently in pre-production. John has also landed two high profile writing assignments: adapting the Tad Williams novel “Otherworld” for Warner Bros. and adapting Isaac Asimov’s “Caves of Steel” for Twentieth Century Fox.
  • Paper Trail, by 2010 Gold Prize winners Louis Rosenberg and Joe Rosenbaum has just been picked up by Sidney Kimmel, and Louis and Joe’s spec Mindplay recently sold to Echo Lake. Louis and Joe are repped by PAGE Judge Eric Williams of Zero Gravity Management.
