Universal Animation Writers Program is now taking submissions.
Writers have the chance to submit writing samples for a Film Track, or one of two possible Television Tracks, Kids 6-11 or Preschool 3-5. Writers chosen for the Film Track will develop two feature-length scripts for consideration in collaboration with executives, producers and animation producers. While the goal is for the projects to move forward into development, studio development and production is not guaranteed. However, writers can potentially contribute to active studio projects that are in development or are in production.
