Alex Barris Mentorship Award

The Alex Barris Mentorship Award.

Did a mentor help you become the writer you are today? Have you always wanted to thank that person publicly? Now you can. Nominate him or her for the Alex Barris Mentorship Award. 

Alex Barris was a writer, broadcaster and journalist, a pioneer of Canadian television and proud member of the WGC. Throughout his career, Alex always gave his time and talent to help others get a start in the industry he loved. After his death in 2004, his family and friends decided to keep his name and spirit alive by sponsoring the Alex Barris Mentorship Award. The annual award acknowledges one person who has gone above and beyond to help a writer - or several writers - to get a start in the business.

While the nominator must be a WGC member, the recipient need not be. He or she could be a teacher or a story editor, even a producer. A jury will select the winner, and an award will be presented at the WGC Screenwriting Awards on Monday, April 19, 2010. To nominate your mentor, please submit a written description of his or her impact on your career. A jury will select the winner, and an award will be presented at the WGC Screenwriting Awards on April 19, 2010.

If you nominated someone in the past and they were not chosen to receive the award, please feel free to nominate him or her again.

Deadline for entries:  Friday, February 26, 2010, 5:30 p.m. EST
