This year’s scriptwriting competition, in partnership with Euroscript, saw us receive floods of scripts from the talented female writers of the UK. Our reading team have been hard at work over the past month and now we’re ready to announce our shortlist. The shortlist is currently with Euroscript and we will announce our winner later in October.

The winning script will be workshopped at the festival and details can be found here.
