Rules & Terms

To ensure that each screenplay is read, studied, and rated individually, WRPNSC has instituted a system where entries do not compete against each other but are recognized for their merits.
They compete against themselves; each entry is judged on individual merits and scored on an inherent value system.

The judge's focus is on your screenplay when it is your turn to be evaluated, not on all the other scripts that are on cue; this ensures that they will not have comparisons going on in their minds when they should focus entirely on you.

Screenplays are accepted from anywhere in the world but in English only.

Screenplays must be in PDF format and submitted electronically through FilmFreeway only

Every submitted script must include a title page with contact information.
A treatment is optional (but helpful)

WRPNSC accepts:

-Unproduced and produced feature-length screenplays between 70 and 130 pages.
-Unproduced and produced short screenplays 40 pages and under.
-Unproduced and produced Teleplays and Webisodes of 45 to 70 pages.
-Unproduced and produced Webisodes of 10 to 20 pages.

There is no limit to the number of original scripts you submit. Duplicate entries will be automatically disqualified.

Substitutions will be accepted no later than 30 days prior to festival's end date

The decisions of the judges are final and shall not be disputed.

The Top winners understand that there is no guarantee of representation or production deals by our associates.

If your screenplay or novel is rejected, we will tell you the reason(s), and you’ll have a chance to re-submit up to 30 days before the last deadline or the following season for free.

    This fest is great. Their tiered award system is fair and their the criteria for judging your script on its own merits and not against other screenplays in the competition is a breath of fresh air. Their communication with the entrants is clear and concise. I was honored to receive a gold level award for my own screenplay On The Record in the Summer 2024 fest. Highly recommend this festival.
