NI Screen Seek Screenwriters for Fest Sponsorship | The Irish Film & Television Network

This is the first year of the London Screenwriters' Festival, which has taken up where the Cheltenham Screenwriters' Festival left off. Northern Ireland Screen is currently inviting local Northern Irish writers to apply for one of ten full festival passes that the group has.

There are strict criteria for those wishing to attend. Firstly applicants must be Northern Ireland resident for tax purposes. They also must have received a development award from Northern Ireland Screen for a feature film or television drama script and must have a feature or television drama project that is ready to be pitched as its progression will be the focus of the attendee’s time at the festival. The chosen writers must also be available to attend all three festival days.

Anyone who meets the criteria above and the further guidelines outlined at www.northernirelandscreen.co.uk should apply for a festival ticket by returning their completed application and monitoring form to:

Ursula Devine
Development Co-ordinator
Northern Ireland Screen
3rd Floor, Alfred House
21 Alfred Street
Belfast BT2 8ED

The deadline for receipt of entries is 5pm on Tuesday 31st August 2010. Tickets will be awarded to the first 10 fully completed and returned applications which meet all of the essential criteria.
