We’re excited to announce our 2026 TV contest division finalists! Many thanks to our dedicated judges, who spent so many hours reading and evaluating our submissions.

During the next round of judging, we will determine our division winners, and from those winners we will determine this year’s TV Fellowship winner. The Fellowship includes a $3,000 cash prize, free tuition and housing for this year’s TV retreat, and a 1 year mentorship with 2 Hollywood professionals handpicked to help advance the Fellow’s craft and career.

Congratulations to this year’s finalists, and please check back soon for our TV division winners!
