TWP NOVEMBER 2009 � APRIL 2010 SCREENPLAY CONTEST FINALISTS

The Writers Place (TWP) is pleased to announce the finalists for the November 2009 through April 2010 screenplay contest. We received many finely-crafted scripts during this contest period. As such, selection of the finalists was, to say the least, difficult. We anticipate an even more demanding elimination process for the upcoming selection of winners and an honorable mention.
