We will again celebrate film, television scripts and short film scripts (both fiction and non-fiction) that seek to raise awareness and inspire change regarding urgent issues with relevance across our society now, such as racial, gender or economic inequality; climate change; drug addiction; the broken foster care system; gun violence and more.

We especially encourage submissions from individuals who have been historically under-represented in scriptwriting. Ultimately, we’re looking for scripts that lend themselves to meaningful, constructive activism as well as stories about activism.

We believe that storytelling is the glue that binds humanity together. We look forward to finding content that can effectively help push forward socially conscious issues that the world needs to better understand – and resolve.
