Are you confident your screenplay would sell if it was given a chance? If it had an awesome cover design and was available as a paperback and e-book on Amazon, would it be a best-seller? Would you like to have your screenplay published on 19 November 2023?
Thousands of screenwriters have already taken part in this unique screenplay contest, with many of them appearing on Amazon's best-sellers list for screenplays. The majority of our entrants make their entry fee back after just a few sales. Take a look at our FilmFreeway reviews to see what they say about their experiences in the contest!
This is not your standard screenplay contest. It’s the most exciting, refreshing and potentially rewarding contest we think you'll find, designed so that you can sell your screenplay as a paperback and as an e-book while you participate.
- By entering the contest, you'll become an internationally published screenwriter with Dizzy Emu Publishing
- Your screenplay will be available for sale as a paperback and e-book on Amazon
- The result of the contest is determined by screenplay sales, not by a small panel of judges
- All writers who enter the contest receive ALL of the royalties for their screenplay’s sales, paid directly to them from Amazon
- Writers retain ALL rights to their screenplay
- The entry fee includes a cover design based on your synopsis, plus you may also submit your own artwork if you wish by emailing it directly to us
- Just because the contest ends doesn’t mean your screenplay’s availability has to – you can keep it available for sale for as long as you like and continue to receive all of the royalties
Each writer who enters the contest receives ALL of the royalties for their sales directly from Amazon. They also retain full control of their screenplay's rights and pricing.
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. This is the list price minus the production costs and Amazon's commission.
The overall contest winner is the writer of the top-selling screenplay over the three month contest sales period and wins a full Publish & Marketing package from Dizzy Emu Publishing - this includes building you a website and making a video trailer to help you promote your screenplay. Additionally, as with all entrants, the winner will also receive all of the royalties from their screenplay sales.
