| Objective: |
The PAGE Awards were established by a group 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. One of the most frustrating things about so many screenwriting competitions, both for the writers and for the judges, is that scripts of different genres are in competition with each other. But how do you compare a comedy to an action script? How do you rank a family film against a thriller? Moreover, why is it that so many contests reward the writer who creates a powerful drama, while so many of Hollywood's most successful movies are comedies, thrillers,
action flicks and family films? To address this problem, and to encourage and promote a wide range of screenwriting talent, each year our judges present a total of 31 awards to screenwriters in ten different genre categories. And most importantly, all contestants have
the opportunity to get their work read by industry professionals currently in search of new talent. |
