Congratulations to all of the above. This has without doubt been the strongest contest since 1999, all of these scripts being of a professional standard and written with passion, talent and vision. To those who did not make the cut. This has been the hardest contest within memory to judge and a lot of writers who would have made the final cut did not because of the impressively strong field of candidates. Congratulations to all and our best wishes to you for successful careers.

Félicitations à tous et nos meilleurs voeux à vous pour des carrières réussies.
