AWG Sponsorship

The Australian Writers’ Guild is proud to sponsor events, festivals, awards and programs that recognise, promote, reward and celebrate the work of screen and stage writers. 

We are also the proud sponsor of Best Screenplay Awards for a number of festivals and competitions.

We show our support for the events we sponsor through:

  • Pre-event promotion of the event in our eNewsletter, distributed to approx. 9000 recipients
  • Pre-event promotion of the event via an AWG social media post: 10,000 followers over three platforms
  • Post-event coverage, via an article in our eNewsletter, including photos
  • 1 x Electronic Direct Mail (EDM) to a subset of our members where applicable (eg, State-based members, student members)

For Best Screenplay Awards that we sponsor, we:

  • Donate a 12-month AWG membership to the winner of the award
  • The winner is eligible to be considered for our Pathways Program
  • An AWG Full Member will present the award at the event when possible
  • Provide a certificate and congratulatory letter for the winner of the award
