Where and how to add title for Unproduced Script?

Is there a special form or workaround to Add New Title for an unproduced script? Add New Title asks for data that does not apply. Imagine you're talking to your grandma, please. 

I want to add my "Best Unproduced Script" award to two film festival events--Edit Page rejected, title not in the database, nor am I.

Also, the title Asylum is common, but it's adapted from my novel by the same name, and it's the name that won. I first submitted to festivals in 2019.
IMDb events are:  2021 Toronto International Women Film Festival (category is live so I'll add to it) and 2022 Chicago Indie Film Awards (category must be added). As a data source, Asylum and I are listed among winners on Chicago's and Toronto's festival websites. I have a poster to upload, too.

Where do I begin? Thank you for your help.

You can make a submission like this with "In Development - Script" status:

But I think this option (in-development) requires IMDbPro subscription, so that's probably why you didn't see it when you tried Add New Title form.
You may want to start one month free trial of IMDbPro for this. Or I can try to add it for you if that's OK (for both staff and you)

@mbmb​  Hmm, Pro might be the answer. Your idea helped me find this: Tips for adding new in-development/in-production titles, "If the project is not yet in the pre-production stage and you are an IMDbPro subscriber, you can select a more accurate in-development status (pitch, script, treatment, etc.) for your submission." (Sounds like what I need.)

I'll get back to it tomorrow. I might try IMDb's Help Contact Form first. Just found it. I have to learn this for additional awards.

I deeply appreciate your offer to add it for me, I'll exhaust other paths first and confirm it's OK with staff. Seems like it is OK because this tip also states: "If you are interested in adding a new, in-development title to IMDb, and are not directly involved with the production, please only include the information you know is true. …"

Thanks again, mbmb.
