ARS SEPTIMA SCREENWRITING PRIZE
The non-profit organization Ars Septima, headed by Arsen
A. Ostojic, created to foster young and undiscovered screenwriting talents in Croatia, announced the
winner for the 2007 National Competition. The selection committee with Zvonimir Berkovic, Ante Tomic
and Arsen A. Ostojic awarded Hrvoje Sadaric for his script "F20". The winner received 10,000

well-known Hartley-Merrill International Screenwriting Prize organized by the Foundation for International
Film Artists from Los Angeles. There were total of 50 screenplays submitted for the national competition,
