Hey writers! The Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment (CAPE) is currently accepting submissions for the 12th annual CAPE New Writers Awards. But the deadline is coming up quick: Friday, May 25, 2012. [UPDATE: The submission deadline has been extended to Friday, June 29, 2012 11:59PM PST.]
Submissions are being accepted in Feature Film, Television Writing, and Hawaii. The Hawaii category is open to writers originally from Hawaii, currently living in Hawaii, or screenplays/ teleplays set in Hawaii.
Three winners will each receive a $4,000 cash prize, the latest Final Draft professional scriptwriting software, a staged reading of their winning script, and exclusive meetings with entertainment industry agents, producers, and executives. Not bad.
Entries must be submitted electronically by Friday, June 29, 2012 11:59PM PST. For further details on the New Writers Awards, including the full rules, application, and other guidelines, go to the CAPE website here.
