Amazon Studios has picked the winners of its annual best test movie and best script contest, which invited filmmakers and screenwriters worldwide to submit full-length test movies and scripts, with the chance to see their movie made.

The family film 12 Princesses won best test movie of the year and the suspense thriller Origin of a Species won best script for 2011.

“We received projects from all over the world and have enjoyed collaborating with filmmakers and screenwriters on some amazing original stories,” said Roy Price, director of Amazon Studios. “Choosing the best test movie and the best script of the year was extremely challenging. With thousands of projects submitted, it was difficult to recognize only two.”

Amazon.com launched Amazon Studios in November 2010, allowing aspiring filmmakers to submit works for the chance at an exclusive contract with Amazon. Amazon Studios has had more than 700 movies and more than 7,000 scripts submitted.
