The cartoon screenplay adaptation of Johnny Grav & the Visioneer: Twilight Rising recently won the Best TV Pilot award in the 2007 Faith and Values Screenwriting Competition, organizers said.

Based on the award-winning serialized children's comics of the same name that first ran in Clubhouse magazine, the 30-minute screenplay was authored by children's writer Mike Nappa and novelist Jefferson Scott.

As part of the prize for winning this competition, the authors received a cash prize and the attention of producers from several film studios, including Fox Faith.

“It's both gratifying and humbling (to win this award), and we look forward to whatever may happen next for Johnny Grav & the Visioneer,” Nappa said.
