The Ohio Independent Film Festival is honored to have
www.WritersScriptNetwork.com as an official sponsor for the 2003 Ohio
Independent Screenplay Awards (OISA), the oldest and most prestigious
screenplay awards program in the Midwest. Over the years, OISAšs
winning screenplays have been optioned, produced into full-length
feature films and some winning writers have even ventured into
professional writing careers. OISA clearly serves a promising ticket
to a successful writing career!

In keeping with this goal, www.WritersScriptNetwork.com. will award a
promotion package to the winning screenplays as an official prize for
the 2003 OISA. Every week through the www.WritersScriptNetwork.com
network, at least three writers either sell or option their feature
or TV script, or get writing work (ranging up to 6 figure studio
sales). Producers have now found 192 writers/scripts through
www.WritersScriptNetwork.com's assistance. Representatives have
taken on approximately 98 writers and 28 screenplay shorts have been
sold or optioned. OISA is excited to have www.WritersScriptNetwork
on board this year.

Other OISA prizes will include cash awards and the opportunity to
network with various Hollywood and New York City producers.

Deadlines for the 2003 Ohio Independent Screenplay Awards are: JUNE
1. Late entries will be accepted no later than JULY 1. Please call
(216) 651-7315, email OhioIndieFilmFest@..., or visit
