In order to choose the Grand Prize and Honorable Mention winners for Screenplay Festival, there are three rounds to the competition. In the second round, every script is read by every judge and rated. The screenplays with the highest ratings move into the third round, or the Final Round. The scripts listed below made it through this process and deserve recognition as Screenplay Festival Finalists.
The most frequent question we get asked is, “What percentage placement does being a Finalist make me?” Generally, the Finalists represent the top 10%-15% of entries that we receive, depending upon the category.
We appreciate everyone’s hard work and would again like to congratulate everyone for their great writing!
