Congratulations to Our 2024 Feature Contest Finalists!

We’re excited to announce the 2024 Feature Retreat & Fellowship Contest finalists!

It was an extremely difficult task to narrow down our finalists to just 8 writers from an excellent group of 34 semifinalists. Many thanks to our dedicated judges, who spent hours reading and evaluating our submissions.

WHAT’S NEXT

Each of the finalists will be considered for this year’s Fellowship, which is valued at $20,000 and includes, among other prizes, $10,000, free tuition and housing at this year’s retreat, and a year long mentorship with two entertainment industry professionals. We also will name second and third place winners. For more information about prizes for each winner, please visit our Feature Prizes page.

Congratulations to this year’s feature finalists, and please check back soon for the announcement of our winners and our feature fellow!
