As part of its desire to encourage creativity and reward excellence, the Centre of Communication of the Pan-African University (PAU) and the foremost film producer in Italy - Intermedia Consulting have instituted an annual script writing competition tagged The Script Writers Award 2005/2006 with the collaboration of Communicating for Change (CFC).
This award is the fallout of the remarkable conference organized by PAU and CFC on the Development Film in Nigeria in December 2005. The main goal of the award is to discover the best and recent scripts from African countries not yet produced. The winner of the award will be rewarded with a cash prize of 5,000 euros by the organizers, and in collaboration with the writer, help produce the movie. The movie will also stand the chance of being featured in an international film festival. We believe that every brilliant film begins with a brilliant screenplay.
Please find attached Competition Philosophy and Goals, Rules and Regulations and a set of application forms.. These, as well as a Script format, are also available on the PAU website - www.pau.edu.ng.
