"The Nicholl Fellowships competition is open to any individual who has not earned more than $5,000 from the sale or option of a screenplay or teleplay or received a fellowship or prize of more than $5,000 that includes a ‘first look’ clause, an option, or any other quid pro quo involving the writer’s work.
