The winner will meet with Rooster Teeth executives and their development team. The winner will receive a $2,500 prize and will be flown (travel-expenses covered) to Austin for a week-long mentorship with Rooster Teeth’s team. While open to any genre, submissions should generally align with Rooster Teeth’s voice: an emphasis on comedy concepts that feature ordinary people in extraordinary situations, coming-of-age stories, or other engaging journeys of self-discovery. The Rooster Teeth BIPOC Fellowship seeks scripts from underrepresented writers in the industry.
