A Screenwriting Prize Sponsored by Columbia College Chicago Department of Film & Video Advisory Board
PURPOSE:
The Written Image Screenwriting Prize is designed to foster the development and recognition of "new screenwriters," specifically alumni of Columbia College Chicago who majored in Film or current
students with a declared major in Film - writers who are at the threshold of a professional career. The competition's goal is to recognize the best of our "amateur" screenwriters and give them a first step into screenwriting as a profession. Please read the guidelines carefully to be sure that you qualify before submitting a script.
