Quote: Sharps
Think you can write for TV?
This is an open call by BBC writersroom to find the next generation of writing talent. We want writers with the talent, ideas, insights, and imagination to captivate an audience. We are looking for a fresh, surprising, entertaining take on a universal theme.
To apply, send us an original 30-minute TV script exploring 'the nation's health'. It doesn’t need to be a hospital precinct drama – you can explore 'health' in its broadest possible senses.
Twenty writers will be selected for a workshop, which will involve writing exercises as part of the selection process.

Film rather than TV this time and again from the BBC writersroom.
Quote: RISE films, Casarotto Ramsay & Associates, and Sight & Sound are making an open call for film scripts in any genre from unagented writers. 227
My emphasis on unagented there.

Back to the BBC writersroom again but this time, maybe, for stage rather than screen.
STAGE International Script Competition Deadline 15/12/08 or 12/15/08 for our US readers.
Quote: STAGE (Scientists, Technologist, and Artists Generating Exploration) is a collaboration between The Professional Artists Lab and the California NanoSystems Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
They are offering a prize of $10,000 for the best play about science and/or technology.
The prize will be awarded at a public event with distinguished professionals from the worlds of theatre, film, science, and technology, in conjunction with a staged reading/performance/demonstration with a cast of professional actors.
Submitted plays must explore scientific or technological stories, themes, issues or events, and science and technology must figure prominently in the script in either form or content. Biographical dramas, history plays, and medical dramas are discouraged unless they significantly employ science and/or technology.
