Support is on offer to early-stage talented writers who are aiming for a career in scripting television dramas.
The C21 Drama Series Script Competition is designed to identify and nurture a new international drama. The funder is looking for a pilot script for a drama that will appeal to audiences and co-producers worldwide.
The winning writer will receive £10,000 from Studio21 to develop and acquire the script. Studio21 will further develop the project in association with the writer to take out internationally.
Anyone with a series idea, a pilot script and the desire and talent for writing may apply. New writers and experienced writers alike are welcome. Non-represented and represented writers are welcome to submit. The script competition is open to international applicants. Writing teams (of up to two people) may submit their projects.
The deadline for applications is 30 September 2022.
