The selection committee is chaired by Anna O’Donoghue and made up of members of the industry. Yes, you may submit it in two years, during the next round of the Bridge Award for Screenwriting each submission to the Bridge Awards is eligible for consideration in two cycles of the award to which it was submitted. If my screenplay is not selected this year, can I submit it again next year? At that point, they will be asked to provide proof of military service (accepted forms of proof: a copy of a Military ID, Veterans Affairs card, USAA ID, or passport.)
If I am a finalist, when will I be notified?įinalists will receive notification on or around April 15th, 2021. All submissions are online, through our portal.
Each prize has its own separate judging process, and scripts are eligible for two rounds of consideration in each one. Can I submit a screen adaptation of that play to the Bridge Award for Screenwriting? I already submitted a script to two rounds of the Bridge Award for Playwriting. If you were looking forward to submitting a play this year, you will still have the opportunity to do so, beginning in December of 2021. From now on, the Bridge Awards for Playwriting and Screenwriting will alternate years: the Bridge Award for Playwriting will run in 2021-2022 the Bridge Award for Screenwriting will take place the following year, 2022-2023. The Bridge Award for Playwriting still exists! The Screenwriting Award is not a replacement but an addition. I thought the Bridge Award was for plays.
