Sci fi and fantasy award main ident

Science fiction and fantasy have been some of the most profitable genres in recent years. From MARVEL to LORD OF THE RINGS, from GAME OF THRONES to STRANGER THINGS, they’ve been conquering both the big and the small screen.

Here at WriteMovies, we’re always on the hunt for the next big thing. If you’ve written a script that could be a franchise-starter and take the world by storm, something unique that will make audiences sit up and take notice, we want to read it!

On top of the great prizes on offer, all submissions to our Sci-Fi and Fantasy Award will also receive feedback on their first 10 pages, plus free and automatic entry to the WriteMovies 2022 Screenwriting Contest, giving them the chance to win the Grand Prize of $3500!
