About us
The Oxford Script Awards is dedicated to promoting and recognizing emerging screenwriting talent worldwide. Our festival unites writers, industry professionals, and audiences in a shared celebration of storytelling and cinematic craftsmanship.
Our mission is to create a direct pathway to production for winning screenwriters by fostering meaningful collaborations with partner directors and production companies.
Driven by a passion for film and storytelling, our team is committed to building a thriving community of screenwriters and providing them with opportunities to showcase their work. We are dedicated to discovering new voices and amplifying diverse and underrepresented perspectives in the film industry.
Our panel of experienced judges – renowned screenwriters, producers, and directors – carefully evaluates each submission with expert analysis, ensuring a fair and insightful review process.
We believe in the power of storytelling to inspire, educate, and connect. The Oxford Script Awards is more than a competition – it is a platform for creativity, innovation, and cinematic excellence.
