We are excited to finally launch our first competition for screenwriters worldwide. We know more than anyone how hard it is to break into the industry, hence we've created this competition to help jump start your career to give you the accreditation and reputation you might need to approach industry professionals such as agents, managers, and producers.
Our aim is to help you the best we can, hence every entry will get a short script coverage from the judges with years of experience in evaluating scripts.
