The HUMANITAS PRIZES are awarded to honor film and television writers whose work explores the human condition in a nuanced, meaningful way. Prizes are presented at an annual event where winners receive a trophy and a cash prize.

The NEW VOICES FELLOWSHIP is an approximately six-month mentorship program for emerging television and screenwriters. The program is committed to identifying and empowering five unrepresented writers each year who are currently working on a 30- or 60-minute pilot or feature film screenplay that upholds the mission of Humanitas.

The Humanitas COLLEGE SCREENWRITING AWARDS recognize writers 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 two students selected each receive a $20,000 cash prize and more.

Humanitas also presents a number of PUBLIC PROGRAMS throughout the year. Industry 101 introduces and explores topics foundational to understanding and launching television and film writing careers. The Writers Room is a TV writing intensive for high school students which was first piloted at Hollywood High School in Fall 2023.

GROCERIES FOR WRITERS is a direct aid project for WGA writers and writers room support staff originally launched in response to the 2023 WGA Strike.
