At the start of the year we launched the 2020 Young Screenwriter Competition. PQA students were asked to write a one page script treatment for a short film which PQATV would then make. The winning screenwriter will work with a professional writer to complete their screenplay and get to shadow the director on set during the shoot, plus they will get to bring their friends along as well.
From all the creative entries we received from talented young writers we have managed to select 20 Highly Commended script ideas that we absolutely loved. From this list one winner will be selected, to be announced towards the end of the Summer. Good luck!
