There’s only 2 weeks left until the CAPE New Writers Awards (CNWA) deadline.
Writers may submit scripts for Feature Films, Television Writing, or Hawaii. The Hawaii category is open to writers originally from Hawaii, currently living in Hawaii, or the script is set in and/or about Hawaii.
Both individual and/or team entries are accepted and must be submitted electronically by Friday, May 25, 2012 11:59PM PST.
Submissions are open to both CAPE and non-CAPE members. Multiple entries are also allowed.
Three (3) winners will each receive a $4,000 cash prize, the latest Final Draft professional scriptwriting software, a staged reading of their winning script, and exclusive meetings with entertainment industry agents, producers, and executives.
For over a decade, the CAPE New Writers Awards has been dedicated to discovering and nurturing Asian Pacific Islander voices and talents. This signature CAPE program has helped launch the careers of numerous writers. Success stories include Aaron Ho (COUGAR TOWN), Alice Wu (SAVING FACE), Christina Choe (2012 Slamdance winner), Jaffar Mahmood (SHADES OF RAY), Ken Cheng (WILFRED), Leonard Chang (AWAKE), Thomas Wong (Fox Writer’s Intensive Finalist), Randall Park (THE ERASISTS), and more.
The 12th Annual CNWA is sponsored by NBC Universal with support from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Hawaii International Film Festival, the Hawaii Film Office, the Oahu Film Office, and Final Draft.
