Dear NYTVF Community Members,

The NYTVF is proud to announce the 25 finalists in the FOX-PGP-NYTVF Comedy Script Contest. We received nearly 800 entries, and choosing the top 25 was no easy feat. As was the case last year, we were astounded by the number of talented writers out there, and we applaud everyone who entered.

Announced at the 2009 NYTVF Awards Ceremony on Saturday, September 26th, the winner will receive $25,000, a development deal with the Fox Broadcasting Company and the chance to have their script produced by Procter & Gamble Productions.

We look forward to seeing you all at the NYTVF, beginning September 21. As always most events and all Independent Pilot Competitions are absolutely free.

Best,

NYTVF
