Contest Update: Winners Announced


Posted on Mar 19, 2013

In our last update, we announced the winners of the 2012 Screenplay Festival competition.  We would again like to take this opportunity to thank all of the writers who entered their scripts, and to encourage everyone to keep writing!

We also want to let everyone know that for 2013 we are bringing back the more restricted contest that we ran last year, 100 Screenplays.  Instead of accepting an unlimited number of entries and then taking 6 months to choose the winner, with 100 Screenplays we only accept 100 scripts and then get the winner announced within one month.  Visit 100 Screenplays to learn more!

The deadline for the 2012 screenplay competition has passed,  As always, we are allowing a grace period after the deadline for those writers who have asked for a little more time to get all of their materials to us.  Particularly because our deadline landed during a holiday weekend in the USA, we are allowing writers until Friday, September 7.  After that date we will no longer accept any entries.

Awards are given for five categories: Action/Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Family, and Thriller/Horror. Should Drama and Action compete for the same prize?
