A big thanks to Colin MacGregor at Caledoinia Short Script Competition for running a brilliant contest which was a first for me. I would like to say a big well done to all of those involved and I hope they found it as an exhilarating experience as I did. I can definitely recommend Caledonia Short Script Competition for anyone established or starting out like myself. Once again thank you all for such a great experience.

What a Wonderful and supportive competition this is! Colin MacGregor, the competition Director was kind enough to call me and personally let me know that my script made it to the semi finals and also out of the kindness of his own heart took time to have a lovely chat with me and gave me some amazing advice for the future and wished me well with my writing career!

This is the kind of competition that makes you feel like a winner, no matter what! What a pleasure it was to enter my work! I look forward to returning next year!

As a writer who has been entering as many script competitions as possible and hearing little-to-no feedback, the Caledonia Short Script competition is a breath of fresh air. Colin was attentive and gave the best advice at the best time to ensure my submission was considered fairly.
I would have loved to see the winning script to get an idea of what clinched the top prize but I can only praise Colin for the organisation and opportunity for my wee comedy to receive a laurel wreath!
