Improvised Scene Productions has developed a screen story (a.k.a. "treatment") that has gotten great feedback from both within and outside of the Hollywood film community. "Betty Brown for President!" is a comedy like nothing else you've ever read and provides a blueprint for a brilliant satire on American politics. "Betty Brown" imagines that a series of outrageous, yet logical, circumstances conspired to propel the unlikely candidate "Betty Brown" to the presidency 40 years ago, in 1976. This story has been compared favorably to the creations of the Coen and Farelly Brothers by many who have read it.

Artists may submit Original two-dimensional (2-D) work to include painting, pastel, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital imaging, fiber art, mosaics and mixed media, and three-dimensional (3-D) work.
