The Imaginarium Convention is proud to announce “Return to Freedom” by Bristol Mac Donald as the recipient of a 2017 Imadjinn Award for Best Screenplay! A high number of entries and the competitive nature of the category involving screenplays that have not yet been produced resulted in a slightly extended judging period, in addition to a decision to recognize 3 runner-ups in this category.
