Do you have a talent for writing stories?
Northern Script is a script writing program aimed at 18-29-year-old writers living in the Nordic countries. In 2026 we will only offer the program to writers writing in Finnish and Swedish. In 2026 script camp in Oulu, will be offered to participants living in Finland. If you live abroad you can still attend the workshops but we unfortunately won’t be able to invite you to the script camp in Oulu.
Northern Script is a program that supports the participants to find their own voice and develop their scriptwriting skills. Earlier experience of scriptwriting is preferable, but it is not required. You have to have willingness to learn and be ready to develop. Our program supports unique storytellers who want to write and tell their own stories.
The deadline for your submission is marked on the submission form. Note! Each and everyone who submitted can join the local workshops.
Based on the work done in the workshops, the Northern Script jury will shortlist 10 writers and their scripts. OSAO media school students will further select up to three short film scripts for film production. What is more, the same 10 scriptwriters are chosen to participate in a scriptwriting camp during Oulu Children’s and Youth Film Festival in the north of Finland. The camp is totally free for the participants. Transportation, food, accommodation, international workshops, international film lecturers, local sights, Finnish sauna and film festival tickets to the Oulu International Children’s and Youth Film Festival are included.
Northern Script program is run together with its long-term partners Oulun Kansainvälinen Lasten- ja Nuorten Elokuvien Festivaali, Odense Filmværksted, BUFF and Icelandic Film School. The program is supported by the Nordic Culture Point.
