"2ND BIENNIAL ARMENIAN DRAMATIC ARTS ALLIANCE / PAUL SCREENWRITING
COMPETITION NOW ACCEPTING SCRIPTS"
The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance (ADAA) announces the 2nd Frances Paul
Lyons/ Almas Paul Screenwriting Competition. The deadline for submissions
for the Paul Screenwriting Competition is February 15, 2009, and the winning
writer will be honored with a $10,000 award in August 2009.
The contest will be administered by the Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance
(ADAA), which will establish a panel of noted film professionals to select
the winning script. Scripts must have an Armenian theme, but writers are not
required to be of Armenian descent. The contest guidelines are posted online
at www.armeniandrama.org/contest.php.
In its inaugural year the Paul Screenwriting Competition included both
screenplays and theatrical plays. Beginning with the 2009 competition, the
award will be limited only to screenplays, with stage plays featured through
ADAA's Saroyan Prize for Playwrighting in the alternating year.
The Paul Family generously established The Frances Paul Lyons/Almas Paul
Annual Screenwriting Competition 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 dear father and mother, Varnum and Lillian
Paul.
The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance's mission is to make the Armenian voice
heard on the world stage through the dramatic arts of theatre and film. The
organization accomplishes this mission by supporting playwrights and
screenwriters and providing production opportunities, commissions,
scholarships, research tools, networking resources and writing awards.
ADAA's headquarters are in Cambridge, MA with worldwide affiliates in Paris,
Yerevan, Los Angeles, Boston, New York and other major cities. For more
