The Ohio Independent Screenplay Awards introduce aspiring writers to
the professionals who can propel real writing careers. "…my
script received more industry exposure than I got from other contests
I've won or placed in," states Rich Figel, winner of the 2002 Best
Voice of Color Screenplay Award for his script INUGAMI. Over the
years, winning screenplays have been optioned, other winners have
been produced into full-length feature films; additionally, some
winning writers are now well on their way to professional writing
careers. The 2003 Ohio Independent Screenplay Awards marks our 7th
annual screenplay competition and boasts a seasoned judging process.

Personal coverage and feedback from programmers and readers on your
screenplay will be available to every screenplay entrant. Finalists
and winners are awarded submission to Hollywood and NYC producers,
talent management companies and production companies-the introduction
to a real writing career. On top of all that, winners receive even
more-including cash and representation/promotion by
