The Academy’s Don and Gee Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting is an international screenwriting competition established to identify and encourage talented new screenwriters.
Eligibility–
- Writers who write in English and who have not earned more than $5,000 writing fictional work for film or television in their lifetimes are eligible. Payments received for work-for-hire, sales and options apply toward that limit.
- The $5,000 limit is cumulative over a writer’s lifetime. For example, if a writer received a $3,000 option for a screenplay and $2,500 for polishing a shooting script, that writer would not be eligible for the Nicholl competition.
