    Script Awards LA is a fine-tuned competition. They have a solid staff that keeps everything moving smoothly, and a jury pool that is, most of all, experienced and open-minded. They really cater to the writer's art, treating your work with kid gloves and "hats off" respect. Thanks for everything. GS, Face Painters

    I was honored to win Best Feature Script with this wonderful festival. Their communications were excellent and proved to be a professional organization. I was not able to attend their virtual round table after the awards were announced. However, this was a terrific benefit to the ones who participated. Thank you Script Awards Los Angeles for your professionalism. I highly recommend this festival!

    I was very honored to have won Best Treatment for CRUDE OIL OKIES in the September, 2021 competition. This is an incredibly valuable festival for those screenwriters who want to advance in the industry! For the winners, the chance to be interviewed in a roundtable discussion, uploaded to YouTube, was a wonderful "value-added" part of entering this festival. The interviewer of our roundtable is an established director/producer. To talk with such a talent was hugely encouraging! Will definitely enter this competition again!!!

    Many script festivals are a scam or a waste of time. Not this one. Good communication, and opportunities to meet other, even though this is happening virtually.

    Words can't express my shock and excitement at having won Best First Time Writer for a Feature Script via the Script Awards Los Angeles! This is my first project as a screenwriter and indie filmmaker and to have been selected for such a honor is a thrill! Communication was wonderful throughout the process and I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to say that my screenplay for "You Were Just Here" is an award winning one! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
