The SCRIPT Award celebrates excellence in writing by science graduates. “We know scientists can write big words,” says SCRIPT Creative Director, Helen Leask PhD. “The SCRIPT Award challenges them to write powerfully about big ideas.”

Entrants for the SCRIPT Award submit “mini-epics” of just 100 words on any subject. Over 70 entries from across the country heeded the call and vied for the $1,000 top prize.

The inaugural SCRIPT Award launched in 2008 as part of the celebration for the 10th year anniversary of SCRIPT. If you missed out, start sharpening those pencils: full details for the next SCRIPT Award will be available in 2009.
