Writers are encouraged to craft short (10 minute) works from their own experiences and observations through the creation of fictional characters and settings, writing realistically, metaphorically or abstractly about any topic, including the disability experience. Scripts may be non-linear.

Winners will receive a financial award ($1,000 USD), work with industry professionals to further develop their script, receive coaching/mentorship, and participate in networking opportunities.
