In order to choose the Grand Prize and Honorable Mention winners for Screenplay Festival, there are three rounds to the competition. In the first round, every script is read by at least two judges and rated regardless of genre. The screenplays with the highest ratings move on to the second round!
The most frequent question we get asked is, “What percentage of scripts make it through the first round?” This year, the Second Round screenplays listed below represent the top 15% of entries that we receive.
We appreciate everyone’s hard work and would again like to congratulate everyone for their great writing!
