  • “

    I just wanted to commend you and your staff on what an excellent experience this was from start to finish. Although there were many entries in the competition, I always felt taken care of, communicated with and treated with respect for my efforts. In short, what you guys are doing in terms of creating a platform for unread writers is terrific.

One of the most frustrating things about so many screenwriting contests – both for the writers and for the judges – is that scripts of different genres are in competition with each other.

But how do you compare a comedy to a sci-fi script? How do you rank a family film against a thriller? And why is it that so many screenwriting contests only reward the writer who scripts a powerful drama, while so many of Hollywood’s most successful movies are comedies, thrillers, action flicks and family films?

In order to address this problem, and to encourage the development of a wide range of screenwriting talent, the PAGE Awards competition rewards excellence in a variety of genres and formats.

Each year, we award prizes in these ten categories:

FEATURE FILM SCRIPTS (80-120 pages)

ACTION/ADVENTURE
All types of action scripts, war stories, westerns, and adventure tales

COMEDY
Light and dark comedies, romantic comedies, farces, spoofs, satires

DRAMA
All types of dramatic stories, dramedies, romances, and tragedies

FAMILY FILM
Live-action and animated children’s tales, fantasies, movies for all ages

HISTORICAL FILM
Scripts based on true historical characters and events, biopics, docudramas

SCIENCE FICTION
Stories about time and space travel, extraterrestrials, post-apocalyptic and alien worlds

THRILLER/HORROR
Murder mysteries, crime stories, psychological thrillers, ghost tales, horror and monster movies

SHORT FILM SCRIPTS (under 40 pages)

SHORT FILM
Live-action and animated short film scripts of all genres

ORIGINAL TV PILOTS (25-70 pages)

TV DRAMA PILOT
Pilot episodes for original drama series

TV COMEDY PILOT
Pilot episodes for original single-camera comedy series and multi-camera sitcoms

You may enter your script in whichever category you choose. The price of the first category is included in your entry fee, and if you’ve written a full-length feature and you’d like to submit it in more than one category and have it evaluated by more than one reader, you may do so for a small additional fee.

(PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept novels, short stories, stage plays, treatments, synopses, reality show concepts, or spec scripts for existing TV series. Your script must be an original screenplay or teleplay.)
