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 at least two more judges in addition to previous readings. The screenplays with the highest ratings move on to the final round! The scripts listed below deserve recognition as Screenplay Festival Finalists.
The most frequent question we get asked is, “What percentage placement does being a Finalist make me?” This year, Finalists represent the top 20% of entries that we receive.
We appreciate everyone’s hard work and would again like to congratulate everyone for their great writing!
