    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.

Now celebrating our 7th 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. And due to the success of our past winners, the PAGE Awards have 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:

  • Radar Pictures is now attached to produce and finance the 2009 PAGE Silver Prize winning thriller/horror flick Endangered, by Mark Kratter. Mark has also been hired by producer Stephen L’Heureux of Solipsist Films to adapt a graphic novel for the screen.
  • 2009 Silver Prize winner Fawaz Al-Matrouk shot his PAGE Award-winning short film To Rest in Peace in Kuwait last December. The movie premiered on the Paramount Studios lot on May 13th.
  • 2008 Gold Prize winner Lisa Cole won a F.A.M.E. Award for the VH1 rock documentary she wrote and directed, Do it for the Band: The Women of the Sunset Strip. Lisa also has a new feature in development with her husband, Mark Monroe, who just won this year’s Academy Award for his documentary The Cove.
  • The 2008 Silver Prize-winning drama Fireworks, by Hannah Robinson and Jonathan R. Hall, has been optioned by Concept Entertainment, with Hannah contracted to direct. Hannah and Jonathan are now represented by Frank Wuliger at the Gersh Agency and PAGE Judge Joe Riley at Eyes on the Road Management.
  • The 2008 Gold Prize-winning TV sitcom pilot Control Alt Delete, by U.K. scribe Simeon Goulden, has been optioned by Company Pictures. Simeon is now represented by the Curtis Brown Agency in London.
  • 2007 Gold Prize winner Marc Prey was recently commissioned to write the new feature Souvenirs, which is scheduled to go into production this July in southern Minnesota. Acclaimed actor James Cromwell is slated to star.
  • The 2007 Gold Prize-winning family film The Bologna Rainbow Highway is being produced by Harry Ufland, with Jamie Babbit attached to direct and Marcia Gay Harden to star.
