Are you confident your screenplay could sell if it had the right platform?

Imagine your screenplay transformed into a professionally designed paperback and e-book, available for sale on Amazon. Could it become a best-seller? How would it feel to see your work published and earning royalties starting May 4th, 2025?

Join the Dizzy Emu Publishing Screenplay Contest, a unique competition designed to help screenwriters like you reach a global audience while keeping 100% control of their work. Thousands of writers have already participated, with many finding themselves on Amazon’s best-seller list for screenplays. In fact, most entrants recoup their entry fee after just a few sales. But don’t just take our word for it—check out the glowing reviews from past participants on FilmFreeway!

Why This Contest Stands Out:
This is not your typical screenplay competition. We focus on turning your screenplay into a salable product while giving you complete creative and financial control. Here's what you get when you enter:

• International Publication: Your screenplay will be published as both a paperback and an e-book on Amazon.

• Full Royalties: Writers receive all royalties directly from Amazon—70% for e-book sales and up to $4 per paperback sale (based on a $9.99 price).

• Full Ownership: You retain all rights to your screenplay, forever.

• Custom Cover Design: Your entry fee includes a professional cover design based on your synopsis—or you can submit your own artwork.

• Ongoing Sales Potential: Even after the contest ends, your screenplay remains available for sale on Amazon, and you continue to earn royalties.

• A Unique Judging Process: Winners are determined by screenplay sales, not by a panel of judges.

The top-selling screenplay over the three-month contest period wins:

• A full Publish & Marketing Package from Dizzy Emu Publishing, including a custom website and promotional video trailer.

• Plus, all entrants keep their royalties and rights—no exceptions.

ROYALTY PAYMENTS
• For e-book screenplay sales, writers receive approximately 70% of the sale price of $2.99.

• For paperback screenplay sales, a 100 page screenplay sold at $9.99 earns the screenwriter approximately $4.00.

1) Submit your screenplay and complete the synopsis/overview section, which will form your paperback blurb.

2) You'll receive step-by-step guidance to complete your publishing account, from which you can track sales and manage royalties.

3) Your screenplay goes live on Amazon on May 4th, 2025.

4) Promote your screenplay and watch your sales grow!

Submission Guidelines:

• Open to screenplays of any genre or length (note: screenplays under 22 pages will be published as e-books only).

• Ensure your screenplay file doesn’t include contact details if you prefer them to remain private.

• Submissions close on April 30th, 2025.

  • The All Genre Screenplay Contest in Los Angeles is a quirky red-carpet bash where every movie genre shows up in its zaniest outfit. Expect everything from intergalactic zombies to heartwarming rom-coms—all vying for a spot in the spotlight. It's where the wildest ideas meet LA’s glam, proving that in the city of angels, no script is too outlandish to shine!
