With immense pleasure and enthusiasm, Koun Khmer Amatak Productions (KKAP) announces its first Screenwriting Competition. This contest is dedicated to the discovery of the next generation of aspiring professional and amateur screenwriters.

Inspired by Sreymom Serey, Director of "Solar Eclipse of Soriya", KKAP is now in search of the most promising, up-and-coming screenwriters. As a part of its competition program, KKAP offers prizes and recognition to the top two scripts demonstrating sound screenplay structure, creativity, and good storytelling. Furthermore, both scripts will be used in a future performance by actors of KKAP.

Application deadline is September 29, 2003. We will announce the winning scripts one week later on October 6.

All submissions are accepted through e-mail or postal mail. There will be no registration fees for entering the contest. The contest is open to all ethnicities.

Koun Khmer Amatak Productions (KKAP) is a film and theater production group under the Rajana Society at the University of Washington, Seattle.
