Deadline Extended: More Time to Submit to Screenwriters Lab!

Good news! We've extended the submission deadline for our inaugural Screenwriters Lab. You now have until 11.59pm, 31 August 2026 to enter.

Screenwriters Lab — an initiative of IMDA's Talent Accelerator Programme presented by the Screenwriters Association (Singapore) — is more than a competition. It's a development journey that takes writers from the earliest stages of selection through to a final live pitch, with masterclasses from renowned international mentors to guide you along the way.

Winners stand to walk away with cash prizes from SGD 3,000 to SGD 5,000.

Selected participants will need to be available for the following key periods:

• Online Masterclass Period: 16 September – 28 October 2026

• Live Pitch Session: December 2026

Don't let your story wait. Head to SUBMISSIONS to submit your concept before 31 August 2026.
