Bill Warnock Award: Submissions close Monday

01 February 2012
The Bill Warnock Award provides development assistance to emerging feature film writers with a feature script in development that has market potential and shows the writer's ability to develop long form narrative. The recipient of the Bill Warnock Award will be teamed with a professional script consultant. Applications close 5:00pm Monday, 6 February 2012.

Submissions for the Award are open to West Australian resident writers who have not received previous funding from ScreenWest.

The Award recipient will receive a support package valued at $6,000. This includes a minimal writer's fee plus a professional consultation period with a script editor/mentor. The script editor/ mentor will provide one-on-one support to the successful applicant to complete a further draft of their script.

It is anticipated that this multi-stage development process will provide the writer and their project the opportunity to attract a producer.

Applications are sought that demonstrate dynamic writing, compelling characters and market appeal.

For further information on how to apply, see the Funding section of ScreenWest's website.

Applications close 5:00pm Monday, 6 February 2012.

Any queries regarding the Bill Warnock Award should be directed to ScreenWest Funding Administration Officer Karolina Musiatowicz on 6552 7732 or via email, Karolina.Musiatowicz@screenwest.wa.gov.au.
