(PLEASE REVIEW GUIDELINES BEFORE SUBMITTING).

GUIDELINES

All submissions must be original work.

Overseas submissions(anywhere outside of the USA) you can submit your manuscript directly on the website at hollywoodjumbo.com

Please note that plagiarism is a serious offense unless otherwise public domain - unoriginal works will be dismissed immediately.

Works that fall under public domain, of course, have no copyright. You are free to submit anything within the general public domain.

Short film scripts must be between 3 - 69 pages.

TV Pilots - format length.

Feature length screenplays are traditionally between 70 - 125 pages (but please, no longer than 165 pages).

Short films - under 70 minutes.

Feature films - over 70 minutes.

All screenplays must be written in professional screenplay format.

Films can be shot in any format.

Any valid screenwriting software can be used. Final Draft is the Industry standard.

Microsoft Word has a screenplay template bundled into the Word package.

Just learning screenwriting format? Visit Final Draft on Youtube for some insightful videos.

Also, consider reading The Screenwriter's Bible (this book is available on Amazon) which can be purchased there.

All screenplays will receive professional Hollywood coverage (which will be emailed back to you as a .pdf file).

Submission of a screenplay or film is for the purpose of festival awards and complimentary criticism (for helpful insights, improvements and writer growth) of written works (and of course, coverage provided with each entry).

We apologize, there are no refunds. Our Judges begin reading the scripts as soon as we get them, and then go immediately into doing coverage from there.
