NSW Premier's Literary Awards 2010

The Script Writing Award ($30,000) is offered for the screenplay of a feature-­length fiction film, for the script of a documentary film, for the script of a play or documentary for radio, or for the script of a television program (whether fiction or non-­fiction).

Assessment is made primarily on the literary merit of the written text, and not on the merits of the resulting film, radio or television program, although the judges will take into account the success of the work within the medium for which it has been written.

Previous winners of the Script Award include Jane Campion and Gerard Lee, Rolf de Heer, Christine Olsen and Anna Broinowski.
