In case you were unaware, there is fellowship that is run through The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for aspiring screenwriters. It's called the Nicholls Fellowship. Each year they award several writers with a $30,000 fellowship. Where that leads, I don't know, but each script is read at least once.
Over 6,000 scripts were submitted last year alone. Only five percent make it into the quarterfinals. Ten scripts make it as finalists. I'm intrigued by this alone, because often times the finalists and semifinalists get represented by an agency. That's what I need to get my foot in the door.
If you have a script, send it in. I certainly will.
