“Founded in 1974 to encourage the entertainment industry to use its reach to enrich the lives of viewing audiences, human family educational and cultural institute (dba humanitas) honors and empowers writers whose film and television work explores the human condition in a nuanced, meaningful way. We celebrate the stories that explore the human experience because the act of acknowledging our common humanity is transformational. We work toward our mission and vision through our network of signature educational, cultural, and charitable programs: the humanitas prizes, the new voices fellowship, the college screenwriting awards, and public programs, and direct aid projects, including industry 101, the writers room, and groceries for writers.”

“The second program service accomplishment is the new voices & college screenwriting awards. The organization also operates two programs for emerging writers. The new voices fellowship is a mentorship program, running for approximately six-months, that pairs five emerging writers each year with a professional writer who acts as their mentor, and further supports them with access to networking opportunities, interactive workshops, and a suite of other benefits. The college screenwriting awards, meanwhile, recognize screenwriters whose work advances the humanitas mission and who are currently enrolled in a college or university program. Humanitas annually awards two prizes which recognize excellent student screen and television writing: the david and lynn angell college comedy award and the carol mendelsohn college drama award. The awardees receive a cash prize, a professional notes session, and a suite of other benefits.”
