Irish Film Industry / Film Education /Student Media Awards |
The award is given to the most original, well-written, imaginative script showing the most insight to the cinematic form with the winner being announced at one of Ireland's biggest and most respected student awards ceremony in April.
Entries are sought at the start of the year with entrants being asked to submit a short film script. The script is then subjected to the same rigorous process as scripts submitted to the IFB for funding with each being read by an external reader and judged for a winner. Each entrant receives a reader's report which delivers professional and constructive feedback.
The IFB has continued it's sponsorship of the category in order to offer budding screen-writers the opportunity to experience the development process that film scripts go through and to recognise young screen writing talent.
The Student Media Awards celebrate young Irish talent in all aspects of media ranging from the conventional Editor and Paper of the Year awards to multimedia awards, such as Short Animation Feature and Website of the Year and of course Film Script of the Year.
