New comedy writing competition launched by Film Council

Aspiring comedy writers get you pens out, a new UK comedy writing competition has been launched to help unearth some of the UK’s brightest writing talent.

The competition, which has been setup by the UK Film Council, Working Title Films and the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, is set to work with an industry panel of experts and will allow writers to submit scripts until the end of February.

The winning script will be made into a short film that has been jointly funded by the Film Council and CTBF. Winners are also set to receive £1,000 for their efforts.

Norma Burke from N20 Entertainment, said: “The UK is an amazing hotbed of comedy talent and this award is a fantastic opportunity for new writers or writers from disciplines such as stand up or theatre to show their funny bones on celluloid whilst working with a team of people who will support and nurture them”.
