Our Mission

 Palm Springs, a natural oasis in the middle of the California dessert. A destination truly like no other. A place where celebrities, talented actors, and the most important figures of the film & entertainment industry go to escape their hectic lives in Los Angeles. Here is where they sit back, relax between projects, and start reading screenplays again, eagerly searching for their next creative endeavor. 

That's the spirit in which Palms Springs Screenplay Awards was created. Our mission is to celebrate, praise, and promote screenwriters, helping their scripts get the notoriety that they deserve. Our staff and panel of judges is made out of talented and experienced artists and executives with long and distinguished careers in the film and TV industry worldwide. Here at PSSA we know how to identify a promising screenwriter, how to enhance their stories, and how to provide valuable tools to help them take a deep dive into the exciting film and TV industry in Hollywood and internationally.
