The Nicholl Fellowships is the Super Bowl of screenwriting contests put on by the The Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences. What I find sobering is how few past winners are actually writing scripts in Hollywood. You can check out what contest winners are up to on The Academy's website. It just goes to show you how competitive the business of screenwriting is even if you win the most prestigious contests in the industry. http://www.oscars.org/awards/nicholl/fellows/25thyearbook.html
