The Screenplay Festival judges have been working their way through all of the great scripts that were sent in last year, and they are closer to being able to announce the Finalists for the 2010 contest. We had hoped to make this announcement by the end of March, but it appears that it will have to wait until later in April. We promise to keep everyone up-to-date on this, and when we do have Finalists to announce, every Semi-Finalist will receive an email informing them if they did or did not move into the next round. Best of luck to all of the writers and we will keep reading as fast as we can!
