Attended the Australian Writers' Guild (Screenwriters) awards night at the Regal Theatre in Melbourne on the 15th August.
I think it's fair enough to rename the event the McLeodie Awards instead:
Monte Miller Award - Long Form
For un-produced script over 30 minutes written by an Associate member
The Insect King by Priscilla Cameron
(ed. Interestingly, Priscilla Cameron wasn't able to attend and the award was collected on her behalf by the Producer of The Insect King.)
Monte Miller Award - Short Form
For un-produced script under 30 minutes written by an Associate member
