NASHVILLE (BP)–Aspiring screenwriters who create movies with storylines that help increase man’s love for and understanding of God are encouraged to enter their work in a new contest where the top three winners will receive prizes totaling $50,000 and the chance to have Hollywood executives notice their scripts.
The Templeton Foundation and the Christian Film Television Commission announced the contest Sept. 20 and have set an early entry deadline for Nov. 25 and a late deadline Jan. 6.
Ted Baehr, chairman of the commission and founder of Movieguide, said several of the top movie studios have promised to give a first look at the three winning scripts.
First place for the John Templeton Foundation Kairos Prize for Spiritually Uplifting Screenplays is worth $25,000, and runner-up awards will be $15,000 and $10,000 each.
“We hope the establishment of the Kairos Prize will encourage talented young screenwriters with new ideas and a great respect for the biblical faith to move forward on that project they have in their minds and to inundate Hollywood with moral, inspirational movies,” Jack Templeton, son of John Templeton, said in a Sept. 20 news release.
