Objective
The PAGE Awards competition was established in the fall of 2003 by an alliance of Hollywood producers, agents, and development execs. 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 winning writers, the PAGE Awards competition has become one of the most important sources for new screenwriting talent within the Hollywood community and worldwide.
One of the most frustrating things about so many screenwriting contests - both for the writers and for the judges - is that scripts of different genres are in competition with each other. But how can you compare a comedy to an action script? How do you rank a family film against a thriller? Moreover, why is it that most contests only reward the screenwriter who writes a powerful drama, while many of the most successful movies made in Hollywood are comedies, thrillers, action flicks and family films?
In order to address this problem, and to encourage a wide variety of screenwriting talent, each year the PAGE judges present a total of 31 Awards to new screenwriters in ten different genre categories:
Action/Adventure
Comedy
Drama
Family Film
Historical Film
Science Fiction
Thriller/Horror
Short Film Scripts
TV Drama Pilots
TV Comedy Pilots
This year's winning writers will receive a total of over $50,000 in cash and prizes, plus extensive industry exposure for their winning scripts! Most importantly, the PAGE Awards contest is judged entirely by working professionals in the film and television industry, so all contestants have the opportunity to get their scripts into the hands of Hollywood professionals currently in search of new talent.

Contest News
PAGE Contest Winner Hired to Adapt Novel
Irish author Martin McSweeney, winner of a 2005 PAGE Award for his thriller
LIVING FOR YESTERDAY, has been hired by Fastnet Films in Dublin to adapt his
new book into a screenplay. Martin writes:
"I wanted you to know that my novel TWO WEEKS IN JUNE has been optioned by
Fastnet Films here in Ireland, and because of my prize with you, they have
hired me to write the screenplay. I¹m working on a treatment for them at
the moment."
Meanwhile, on this side of the pond, Robert Frisbee, author of the 2005 PAGE
Award-winning action flick ABSOLUTION, has landed a writing assignment with
Kopelson Entertainment (producers of SE7EN, THE FUGITIVE, PLATOON). Rob
writes:
"As a result of my prize with you, Ryan Engel of Kopelson Entertainment
found ABSOLUTION on InkTip. He loved the writing but didn¹t think the story
was right for them, but our meetings led to me writing a script for them on
a story idea they had in development."
These two screenwriters join a growing list of success stories coming from
the PAGE International Screenwriting Awards. In the past two years, over a
dozen PAGE Award-winning writers have landed script assignments, secured
representation, and signed option agreements on their winning screenplays.
Producers, agents, and development execs cite the PAGE Awards as one of the
best sources for new screenwriting talent, both within the Hollywood
community and worldwide.
