FiLMLaB Judges

Through our membership and many workshop offerings, Willamette Writers has a deep pool of talented screenwriters and faculty to perform early rounds of judging. Each judge is a carefully vetted screenwriter, teacher or producer who has a) had their work produced, b) been optioned, or c) has won an award.

A select group of Agents, Managers and Creative Executives will be called on to assist in further judging. These Celebrity Judges will be announced in March 2015, and will help determine our Grand Prize Winner.
