Our mission is to shine the spotlight on undiscovered comic book writers and their work, providing a platform on which they can launch a successful career. The founders of the Steelkilt Festival and Awards recognized that there’s a world of talent out there that has yet to be discovered by mainstream comic book readers. Many awards and competitions for comic book creators are closed to writers, wh
ile others have an opaque submission and voting process. We therefore created the Steelkilt Festival and Awards so that everyone can have a chance to send in their work to be reviewed by a panel of professional comic book creators. In our first year, the Steelkilt Festival and Awards is committed to supporting creative and empowering storytellers of all walks of life. You don’t have to know someone to get your script or story read. The submission process is open to all through Film Freeway. We particularly seek hidden gems, unknown and unpublished writers and creators, first-time writers and newcomers to comics. Your work will be judged against hundreds or even thousands of other projects. Winners will receive downloadable laurels that they should be proud to display alongside their projects. Our awards ceremony will give winners the chance to take the main stage and present themselves to the world. And we’ll have a hell of a fun time doing it, too!
