Southwest Film Productions (SWFP) celebrates writers from all over the world in this first annual screenplay festival. This event is supported by established creatives in Austin, Texas with extensive experience producing, writing, directing and consulting, and whose companies have been operating for over a decade. The SWFP readers have been jurists and readers at prestigious festivals prior to joining SWFP.
Categories are Best Drama Screenplay, Best Comedy Screenplay, Best Drama Short Screenplay and Best Comedy Short Screenplay. One winner from each category will be selected among the finalists.
At the Festival's sole discretion a winner may be chosen as a Game Changer. This is a screenplay that the jurists agree stands out in style or subject matter. Some categories may not have a winner. The award will be stated as "Best Screenplay - Game Changer" and will be awarded $500.

By entering the Southwest Film Festival you agree that the jurists may bestow a unique award on your script if it's recognized as a standout but doesn't truly fit into a listed category. For example, "Best Screenplay - Historical Fiction."
