The Diversity category is for scripts written by underrepresented writers. The story itself does not have to be about inclusion or issues of equality. When submitting, you will be asked to select the Diversity category and the actual genre of your script so we can assign it to the appropriate reader. If you are a writer who qualifies for this category you are welcome to submit under the Diversity category or can elect to submit under any genre specific category. You do not need to enter the Features & TV category to enter the Diversity category. The Diversity category exists to encourage writers who have underrepresented voices in Hollywood to enter the contest. These writers are also welcome to submit their scripts to any of the other categories they are eligible for.
