Only PDF screenplays submitted through online application are accepted. Equal collaborations by exactly two writers are eligible. Adaptations of another person's work are not eligible, even if that work is in the public domain or if the entrant has acquired rights to the work.
Please see website for complete rules and guidelines.
Awards
Up to five $35,000 fellowships are awarded annually. Fellowship recipients are expected to complete at least one original feature film screenplay during the fellowship year. Fellowship payments are subject to satisfactory progress of the recipient’s work, as judged by the Academy Nicholl Fellowships Committee. Up to five fellowship recipients are selected from approximately 10-15 finalists in the competition. The winners are invited to participate in awards week activities.
The Academy reserves the right to grant no awards if, in the opinion of the Academy Nicholl Fellowships Committee, no entry is of sufficient merit.

Nicholl Finalist Sells 'Armored' Spec to Screen Games
James V. Simpson, whose script "Armored" was announced last week as a finalist in the Nicholl Fellowship Competition, has sold the project Screen Gems, where it will be produced by Buckaroo Entertainment executives Sam Raimi and Josh Donen, and Dan Farah of Farah Films. The story is about young armored car guard who's persuaded by his veteran cohorts to empty the truck of its $10 million haul.
