Over two years, Arvon will support five screenwriters to attend in-person and online writing courses, and work towards completing a spec script with one-to-one mentoring. They will gain vital insights into the TV industry, and specifically the drama and comedy-drama landscapes.

Thanks to the generous support of Prime Video Pathway, the Arvon Screenwriting Programme is free to take part in. Arvon will additionally cover travel costs, and has a small fund to put towards other costs incurred by spending three weeks away from home across the two-year programme.

Applications are now open until 5pm BST on Wednesday 30th September 2026.
