2021 Fellowship Quarterfinalists Announced

To all applicants, thank you for trusting us with your work. We received over 600 applications and the quality of both our applicants and the stories presented is outstanding. Please note, everyone is still in consideration for fee-based slots to our programs, so you are not out of the running if not in the fellowship pool.

To the quarterfinalists, congratulations on this achievement. We wish you the best of luck in the next round.

(Please note our NewEnglandFilm.com, Stowe Diversity, SAGindie, Irish Film London, HollyShorts, and Northwest Screenwriters Guild Fellowship reviews are not complete and will not have a quarterfinals round. Semifinalists and/or Finalists for those fellowships will be announced within the next few weeks. Our Champlain College and University of Vermont Fellows will be announced when we complete all other fellowship reviews.)

We are thrilled to list the 2021 Stowe Story Labs Fellowship Quarterfinalists.
