The 2012 Competition is now
open for submissions!
The Cynosure Screenwriting Awards seek to expand the scope of mainstream
cinema by recognizing and rewarding feature-length scripts in two distinct categories: screenplays which feature compelling female
protagonists; and screenplays
that showcase diversity (ethnicity, race, sexuality, disability, etc.). In 2012, we are proud to offer two (2)
$3000 cash prizes to the top entrant in each category. Also, each winner will be granted a Cynosure Mentorship.
