The Nickelodeon Writing Program (NWP) receives over 1,400 applications each year and is one of the best in the biz. The program offers aspiring television writers, with diverse backgrounds and experiences, the amazing opportunity to hone their skills while writing for Nickelodeon's live action and animation shows. Whilst in the Program, participants will have hands-on interaction with executives writing spec scripts and pitching story ideas, plus meet Nickelodeon's series creators, work in writers' rooms, attend show tapings and much more. Oh, and they write a lot too, all while being provided a salaried position for up to one year! For the second year running, the 2015 – 2016 Nickelodeon Writing Program looked to unearth new writing talent internationally in 2015.
Successful alumni from the Nickelodeon Writing Program include Gabriel Garza and Jonathan Butler, the creators of Nickelodeon's hit original comedy series "Bella and the Bulldogs".
