SCREENWRITING AND PLAYWRITING AWARD
Cambridge Chronicle, MA
Thursday, September 14, 2006
The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance announces the inauguration of its
annual contest for a play or screenplay based on Armenian themes. The
deadline for submission for the Frances Paul Lyons/Almas Paul Annual
Screenwriting & Playwriting Award is May 15, 2007, and the winning
writer will be honored with a $10,000 award in the fall of 2007.
The contest will be administered by ADAA, which will establish
a panel of theater and film professionals to select the
winning script. The contest rules have been posted online at
armeniandrama.org/contest.php. Scripts must have an Armenian theme,
but writers are not required to be of Armenian descent.
The Paul family established the Frances Paul Lyons/Almas Paul Annual
Screenwriting & Playwriting Award via their fund at the Western Diocese
of the Armenian Apostolic Church of North America, under the auspices
of Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, ensuring the continuance of this award
for years to come. Actress and ADAA board member Karen Kondazian,
a member of the Paul family, was honored to facilitate the creation
of this award, particularly to recognize her father and mother,
Varnum Paul and Lillian M. Paul.
The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance is currently working on creating
relationships with leading theaters in the United States to establish
reading series so that the winning scripts - and other scripts
by ADAA-affiliated playwrights - will be seen and heard. ADAA's
headquarters are in Cambridge, with worldwide affiliates in Paris,
Yerevan, Los Angeles, Boston, New York and other major cities.
