The three prize winners--all UCLA students submitting screenplays (plays and teleplays were also admissible)--were Randall McCormick (first place of $5,000 for his “Old Dogs and New Tricks”), Robert Wolfe (second place, $2,500, for his undergraduate work “Paper Dragons”) and Lawrence Riggins (third place, $1,000, for “The Reckoning of J. D. Turner”). The winners were selected by producer Kathleen Kennedy of Amblin Entertainment, writer-director-actor Robert Townsend and director Robert Wise. The prizes were given out Wednesday evening at a ceremony at UCLA’s James E. West Center.
