The Red Planet Prize 2016 – launched!

THE RED PLANET PRIZE IS BACK…

Red Planet is committed to uncovering Britain’s next generation of writing talent, and this year their prize is bigger and better than ever before…

One lucky winner will receive £5,000 to have their screenplay exclusively developed by Red Planet Pictures and will also have six months of intensive development with a dedicated and experienced script editor.

The winner will also receive one to one masterclasses with the crème de la crème of British writing talent including Tony Jordan (Life On Mars, Hustle, Dickensian), Andrew Davies (Pride & Prejudice, Bleak House, War And Peace) and Sarah Phelps (Great Expectations, The Crimson Fields, And Then There Were None.)

We want ideas that burst with character, people and worlds we’ve never seen before, new spins on genre or totally new genres! But most importantly ideas that are deeply truthful and personal to the writer – stories that only you can tell.

How to apply: Send in the first ten pages of a 60′ TV screenplay along with a half-page description of how the series will work and a brief personal biog of no more than half a page. Details of where to send your submission haven’t yet gone up on the website but do keep your eyes peeled once the submission window opens on 4th January 2016!

Deadline: Submissions will be welcomed from Monday 4th January 2016 at 12pm until Friday 22nd January 2016 at 12pm
