We’re pleased to announce the Original Comedy, Drama, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy division semifinalists for our 2023 TV Retreat & Fellowship Contest!

Many thanks to our hardworking judges, who read tirelessly. We could not exist without them.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Semifinalists in the Original Comedy, Drama, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy divisions now advance to the finalist round, after which there will be another judging round to determine division winners. Division winners advance to another judging round to determine the 2023 TV Fellow.

The TV Fellow, division winners, finalists, and semifinalists will be invited to attend the retreat. Any remaining spots will be offered to division quarterfinalists.

CONGRATULATIONS, SEMIFINALISTS!
