The National Screen Institute has announced the six winners of its Movie Camp Screenwriting Contests in Toronto and Ottawa.

Aspiring screenwriters, aged 13 to 19, were asked to submit five-minute scripts, which will be produced at Movie Camp 1.0, and webcast on Excite.ca and the @Home network.

The three winners from Ottawa are: Adam Meisner for Faceless, about two girls who get revenge on the guy who dated them both at the same time; Diana Fan for Disillusionment Is Not Burning, about a screenwriter who tries to defend his work while on a movie set; and Sharyn Larter for The Blinding Darkness, about the inner world of a girl who lies in a coma.

Toronto winners are: Candice Chow-How for Double Double, a character study of the various people who inhabit a coffee shop; Zachary Derhodge for Morris Beam Accident, Incident and Fate, about a man who spent 40 years as an optometrist and now lives in a treehouse; and Justin Thomson-Hertzog for Family Business, a wacky day in the life of a family’s bakery business.

Movie Camp Ottawa ran July 17-28 and Toronto runs July 31 to Aug. 11. *
