The McKnight Artists Fellowships for Screenwriters has grown to be the most prestigious screenwriting competition in the Upper Midwest, with one of the largest cash awards offered in national screenwriting competitions. Administered by IFP Minnesota for 12 years, the monies awarded recognize and support mid-career Minnesota screenwriters who have excelled in the artistic discipline of writing for cinema. Each applicant submits one narrative feature screenplay, which is judged by professional screenwriters, directors, producers, development executives, and literary agents/managers outside Minnesota. Each of the two winning Fellows will receive a $25,000 cash award for excellence in the art of screenwriting.
Deadline for submission:
McKnight Fellowships for Screenwriters 4:00 PM on Monday, February 1, 2010
Winners will be announced in June, 2010.
"How to Apply" Info Sessions
Free "How to Apply" workshops will be offered in November and December 2009 to answer your questions about the application process and the fellowship program. Both screenwriters and filmmakers are welcome to attend either session.
