New TV writing is invited for the Edinburgh International TV Festival Debbies Awards. The Debbies celebrate new and emerging talent in TV writing.
• The Test Card Pilot Award: Scripted/Unscripted are for pilot shows by entrants with no previous ‘above the line’ TV credits. Winners will receive a free pass to the Edinburgh International TV Festival and post-production support from The Farm. There is a £10 entry fee.
• The News Voices Award is for original scripts for a single TV episode (min 30 minutes, max 60 minutes) by entrants who are not professional TV writers, particularly from those telling stories under-represented on TV. The winner will receive a free pass to the Festival, jury feedback and a meeting with a screenwriting agent. There is a £10 entry fee.
