Our Winners Work!
“The most important moment in my career.” – The Blacklist Executive Producer/Creator Jon Bokenkamp
“I owe my success to Fade In. These guys don’t just promise access – they deliver it!” – Cold Pursuit screenwriter/Your Honor Co-Executive Producer Frank Baldwin
Welcome to the 29th Annual Fade In Awards. We’ve created nine individual contests for you to compete in. Submit a script or web series to the best teleplay competition and web series contest in the world, according to Hollywood A-list buyers and reps. And we don’t use third-party readers!
With 28 years experience discovering, mentoring and promoting aspiring writers and filmmakers, Fade In Award winners have gone on to sign with major Hollywood talent agencies Gersh, Paradigm, UTA, IPG, CAA & WME; write/direct hit feature films and television shows (e.g., The Marksman (2020), Your Honor, The Blacklist, Cold Pursuit (2019), Blades of Glory, Adam, Office Christmas Party, If Only) and; be nominated for Academy Awards (Culture).
“After winning [the Fade In Awards], we optioned [our award-winning] script to a prominent producer who had made one of the Speed films. The award gave us motivation and encouragement, which has huge value when starting out.” – Danny Kravitz, The Marksman
“When CBS Studios producer Todd Nelson encouraged me to submit,” says Bokenkamp, “my inclination was to say, ‘No.’ I remember thinking there was no way I could afford it. But my script Preston Tylk won and got me an [CAA] agent. It was huge for me.” Bokenkamp went on to work with Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry on Taking Lives and Perfect Stranger, respectively.
The Fade In Awards deliver by working closely with Grand Prize winners to make sure their contest submission gives them the best chance at launching their filmmaking career.
The Fade In Awards TV Pilot/Web Series Competition is open to aspiring TV writers of scripted one-hour, half-hour teleplays, limited series, mini series and movies-of-the-week, and filmmakers of completed (filmed) web series. All genres are welcome.
