Season 18!! The West Field Screenwriting Awards were created for the simple purpose of awarding writers for the merit of their work. To do this, WFSA enlisted the help of industry insiders, multi-award winning directors, producers, professional writers, and actors to read and select the very best.

Its easy to get lost in the world of screenwriting, so thats why WFSA was started. Being selected for a WFSA is a mark of talent, but also a hand through the door. There is no denying that pitching an award winning screenplay is much easier than pitching one that has no track record.
