This is an opportunity for young non-American TV scriptwriters. “Each year, The Foundation administers the Sir Peter Ustinov Television Scriptwriting Award. The competition is designed to motivate non-American novice writers under the age of 30, and offer them the recognition and encouragement that might lead to a successful career in television scriptwriting. Entrants are asked to create a completed half-hour to one-hour English-language television drama script.” Please note, you have to create an account and log in to enter this contest. The applicant must be a non-U.S. citizen (non-U.S. citizens currently studying/residing in the U.S. are eligible.) Please note, entries from Russia are ineligible this year. The winner will be flown* to New York City to be presented with an award and a $2,500 USD prize at the International Emmy® World Television Festival on November 22, 2025, and will be invited to take part in the red-carpet festivities at the 53rd International Emmy® Awards Gala on November 24, 2025.
