Call For Entries: 2013 INSITE Award

Send in YOUR SCRIPT by 26 July 2013 for a chance to WIN!

The Australian Writers' Guild and the Adelaide Film Festival call for entries to the 2013 INSITE Award, to be presented at this year’s festival in October.

The INSITE Award will celebrate and acknowledge the outstanding work being written by AWG members and will provide an exciting development opportunity.

The call is now open for AWG members to submit a synopsis and writing sample of an unproduced screenplay. Adelaide Film Festival Director Amanda Duthie will join with AWG representatives to judge the final works, with the winner announced during the Festival, which runs this year from October 10‐20.

The ultimate winner will be flown to Adelaide to meet industry directors and producers with a view to moving the project forward, and onto the screen.

AWG President, writer Jan Sardi (Shine, The Notebook, Love's Brother, Mao’s Last Dancer) said today: “INSITE is one of the premier screenwriting competitions in Australia, with the inaugural winner Cut Snake by Blake Ayshford currently in production under director Tony Ayres. This award presents an exceptional opportunity for Australian writers in uncovering first‐class screenplays that have yet to be produced, and providing industry opportunities for them.”

Amanda Duthie said today: “The INSITE Award really focuses attention on Australian screenwriters and the Film Festival is the perfect setting to establish constructive connections between writers and the creative film community.”

Entries are now open until 5pm on Friday July 26, with further information included on the entry form available here
