Any one up to the challenge of creating the next Dora?

CALL FOR ENTRIES: THE NICKELODEON WRITING FELLOWSHIP-Jan. 2nd-February 28th
Call for Entries: The Nickelodeon Writing Fellowship
Nickelodeon is offering writing fellowships in live action and animated television to culturally and ethnically diverse, new writers. Participants will have hands-on experience writing spec scripts and pitching story ideas.
The program, developed to broaden Nickelodeon's outreach efforts, provides a salaried position for up to one year.
Developed to broaden Nickelodeon's outreach efforts, the Nickelodeon Writing Fellowship is designed to attract, develop and staff - new and experienced, culturally and ethnically diverse writing talent on Nickelodeon Network productions.
Operating in a three-phased structure, the Fellowship provides a salaried position for up to one year and offers hands-on experience writing spec scripts and pitching story ideas in both live action and animation television.
This three-phased structure allows fellows an opportunity to nurture relationships with creators, network executives, line producers, head writers, showrunners and story editors.
As part of their script writing, each fellow will be assigned to an Executive in Charge of Production and have an opportunity to write a spec script for an on-air Nickelodeon show.
In addition, all fellows are integrated into the activities of both the development and production departments. This allows the fellows an opportunity to attend storyboard pitches, notes meetings, records, table reads, show pitches and show tapings, all while being exposed to top creators and key production crews.
During the final phase of the program, the fellow will be assigned to either an animated or live action show and they will spend the remainder of their time as a fellow on that show, pitching story ideas and writing scripts.
The next submission period runs from January 2 - February 28, 2007. Applications and submission guidelines are available on :
