We welcome screenplays in every genre, on any topic, from anywhere in the world.

We provide a small paragraph of constructive feedback free of charge for every entrant. More in-depth coverage is available for an additional fee. Our Screenplay Competition Readers are veteran readers with oodles of experience. They are comprised of previous screenplay award winners, professors, script consultants and of course they are all writers. This award winning team is extremely diverse and located all over the world. We pay all of our readers competitive rates and truly value the work that they do.

Since 1995, the competition has established a strong track record for introducing writers to members of the entertainment industry who have gone on to produce, option and represent submitted work. Like the Film Festival, the Screenplay Competition is a place for new, bold, and raw voices. We are looking for scripts that take risks, refuse compromises, and go places where most fear to tread.

 

Our competition consists of four categories.

• Feature
• Horror/Thriller
• TV Pilot
• Short

Awards are given to the top three scripts in each category. The Grand Prize Winner is selected from these top 12 scripts.
