    Best contest I ever entered. Good people. Polite responses. Five out of five on the decency factor. And thanks for the feedback! I am both grateful and humbled. It was professional, well-structured, and answered all of the questions a writer would want to know. It was also done with a kind and gentle hand. I appreciate that.

(Our 2012 contest is now closed. We will open for entries for next year’s contest in December.)

Deadlines and entry fees for the 2012 screenwriting contest are as follows:

EARLY ENTRY DEADLINE:  January 15th   $39

REGULAR ENTRY DEADLINE:  March 1st   $49

LATE ENTRY DEADLINE:  April 2nd   $59

LAST MINUTE DEADLINE:  May 1st   $69

FINAL ENTRY DEADLINE:  May 15th   $79

Entry in one category is included in this fee. If you wish to enter your script in more than one category and have it evaluated by more than one First Round Judge, you may do so for an additional $15 each.

If you’d like to enter more than one script in this year’s contest, you will receive a discount of $5 off the entry fee for each additional script submitted in the same envelope or online transmission.

You may also request Judge’s Feedback from your First Round Judge. For a fee of $75, your Judge will take the extra time to write you several pages of detailed thoughts and ideas about your screenplay, along with an explanation of how your script scored and why. These notes will be emailed to you after the Quarter-Finalists are announced in July. Or if your script advances to the Finals, you’ll receive your Feedback once the Winners are announced in October.
