Nickelodeon
Productions is continuing its search for new creative talent and is
looking for six writers to work full-time developing their craft at
Nickelodeon/Nick Jr. This program stems from Nickelodeon's commitment
to encouraging meaningful participation from culturally and ethnically
diverse new writers. We will be offering Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. (preschool)
fellowships in live action and animation television, and the feature
film divisions. Nickelodeon Productions will provide a $33,000 salary
and a $3,000 stipend to cover the cost of medical benefits for a one-year
period. Fellows outside the Los Angeles and New York areas will receive
round-trip coach airfare and one month's accommodations. The program
is tentatively scheduled to begin June 2000. Eligibility: No previous
writing experience is necessary. Writers interested in Nick Jr. must
have some work experience in child development. Application Procedure:
Submit a single copy of a writing sample (as described below), a one-page
writing and work history resume, a complete application form which includes
a submission release form. If an application and/or submission release
is not attached to this flyer, you may obtain them by contacting the
Program Manager.
Application Requests: Taken by telephone and mail until November 15,
1999. Submission Period: December 1, 1999 until December 15, 1999. To

will be notified by telephone, mid March 2000; while all others will
be notified by mail by the end of April 2000. Notification dates are
subject to change.
Writing Samples: Appropriate samples for the feature films division
include a completed live action motion picture screenplay (approximately

for the live action television division include a live-action, full-length
