The Imaginarium Convention is proud to announce “Return to Freedom” by Bristol Mac Donald as the recipient of a 2017 Imadjinn Award for Best Screenplay! A high number of entries and the competitive nature of the category involving screenplays that have not yet been produced resulted in a slightly extended judging period, in addition to a decision to recognize 3 runner-ups in this category. The final award recognitions for the 2017 Imadjinn Award for Best Screenplay are as follows: 2017 Imadjinn Award for Best Screenplay “Return to Freedom” by Bristol Mac Donald First Runner-up “Under the Helmet” by Todd Bird Second Runner-Up “Swimming with the Sharks”Read More →
