About
Description
Humanitas is a brand that has been empowering writers for over four decades by providing them with financial support and recognition. Their goal is to tell stories that both entertain and enrich audiences. Humanitas recognizes the importance of exploring the human condition, and their programs and prizes reflect this vision.
The Humanitas Prizes, the flagship program of Humanitas, awards film and television writers whose work delves into the complexities of the human experience. Winners receive a trophy and a cash prize at an annual event in Beverly Hills, CA. They also offer the New Voices Fellowship, a four-month mentorship program for emerging television and screenwriters.
This program aims to empower unrepresented writers who uphold the mission of Humanitas. Humanitas has the College Screenwriting Awards, which recognize excellent writing in college or university programs. They annually award two prizes, the David and Lynn Angell College Comedy Award and the Carol Mendelsohn College Drama Award, each offering a $20,000 cash prize to the winners.
Additionally, Humanitas conducts various public programs, including Industry 101 and The Writers Room, to support and educate aspiring writers. They also launched Groceries for Writers, a direct aid project in response to the 2023 WGA Strike. Humanitas was founded in 1974 by Fr.
Ellwood Bud Kieser, who believed in the power of writers to shape culture. Their community values trust, respect, and free expression, and they strive to create an inclusive environment for writers to achieve their full potential. By supporting and celebrating writers, Humanitas continues to be a driving force in the entertainment industry, promoting stories that explore the depths of the human experience
