โ˜… BEST SCRIPT AWARD - LONDON โ˜…

Best Script Awards is a seasonal year-round ๐—œ๐— ๐——๐—ฏ-๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐˜†๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด competition for talented screenwriters from all over the world.

We as organizers are filmmakers, producers and entrepreneurs, so we know how difficult it is to show the world that someone appreciates your work. That's why we came up with a unique project in which we involved several jurors from around the world and created a new opportunity to show your script to the world. The competition was established in August 2020 as part of the BEST FILM AWARDS organization based in London, UK. Later, we decided to create a separate screenwrtiting festival Best Script Awards competition.

Screenwriting is a business and the best screenwriters have a brand. A special writing style or talent that makes them unique and easy to recognize. Filmmakers needing a story that centers on a big idea or great characterization or engaging dialogue or a compelling theme are able to seamlessly identify the best writer for the project when the writer is branded as a specialists in one of those needed areas. Best Script Award recognizes writers who specialize on a specific writing element and works to elevate their overall brand awareness.

Through the screenwriting competition, presented by Best Script Award offers writers the opportunity to submit feature scripts to the category/categories they feel are strongest within their script, which will be reviewed by readers at top Hollywood talent agencies and management companies.

FilmFreeway ranked our festival among the TOP 25 screenwriting competitions according to the Best Reviewed category in Europe.

Our website is followed by many film producers who are looking for suitable scripts for their film productions. Our festival offers a space for screenwriters to promote their screenplay through our web address. We already promote more than 30 film scripts in this way. Check them out here: https://bestscriptawards.com/i-am-a-producer

The festival is based on a professional approach. The evaluation focuses on the tone of the script, the idea of โ€‹โ€‹the script, inventiveness, the characters, the dramatic curve, the credibility of the script, the conflict.

    While this is a reasonably new competition, It's well on its way to being one of the most respected. The judges all appear to be top level, and I don't say so because my TV pilot, The Duchess of Natchez, won! In fact, earlier versions of my script made the quarter-finals of the TSL free screenwriting competition, in 2022, which had over 16,000 entries. It also made the finals of the Oaxaca film festival.
