THE LILLIAN & VARNUM PAUL 2011 SCREENWRITING AWARD
FINALISTS AND JUDGES ANNOUNCED
LOS ANGELES, California – The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance (ADAA) is pleased to announce the three finalists of the 3nd Biennial Lillian & Varnum Paul 2011 Screenwriting Award:  “Bluebeard” by Kraig Kuzirian (U.S), adapted from the novel Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut; “Fading In and Out of Love” by Missak Artinian (U.S.); and “The Florist” by Jeff Kalousdian (U.S.).
Screenplay submissions were received from across the United States, Europe, and Armenia. Entries were required to be full-length, unproduced film scripts written in English and based on Armenian themes. More screenplays were submitted this year than in previous years.  The screenplays submitted were of high quality, which made the selections difficult for the first round judges, all of whom are industry professionals.
The three finalist screenplays will now be evaluated by an honorary jury: award-winning screenwriter Steven Bagatourian (American Gun); actor David Alpay (Atom Egoyan’s Ararat, Showtime’s The Tudors, Fox’s Weekend at Bellevue); and French writer and director Stéphane Kazandjian (Modern Love).
The winner of the $10,000 grand prize will be announced at a private ceremony in Los Angeles in October.  This year’s ceremony will feature a VIP reception and special performance.  Tickets will be available for this exclusive event by invitation only.
The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance’s mission is to make the Armenian voice heard on the world stage through the dramatic arts of theatre and film.  The organization accomplishes this mission by supporting playwrights and screenwriters and providing production opportunities, research tools, networking resources and writing awards.
In addition to the $10,000 Lillian and Varnum Paul Screenwriting Award, ADAA administers the $10,000 William Saroyan Prize for Playwriting, the deadline for which is February 15, 2012.
