The Brass Brad Screenwriting Mentorship Award was founded to help satisfy the need for mentorship opportunities for struggling writers.  While it's nice to receive recognition for work well done, it's another thing entirely to develop not only your writing skills, but your selling skills as well.  This award includes script consultation and bi-weekly phone conferences for a full year, plus other tools you need to be in the BUSINESS of screenwriting.  Such tools include professional screenwriting software, trade subscriptions, and more!

All applicants will receive a copy of their judge's scorecard(s).  Semifinalists will be required to submit a "get acquainted" letter to the competition which should touch upon their interests, both personal and professional, and why they wish to be selected for the mentorship.  

A few projects may be recommended for "special consideration" by their judges.  In this case, the judge sees potential in the writer and/or project -- but the project doesn't rank high enough to warrant selection as a semi-finalist.  These "special considerations" will have the opportunity to complete a five page rewrite -- if they do well on this rewrite -- then they may be selected for further consideration of the mentorship award.
