REGULAR DEADLINE – JULY 31ST!

With any good script, you need to have a compelling concept; an intriguing and original idea that manages to sound fresh and yet also familiar. Not only that, but the opening scene must grab the reader’s attention; propelling them on a journey along with the protagonist where the challenges mount alongside their growing insight into the personal growth the protagonist needs to undergo to reach their goal.

Now pepper the story with a cast of strong supporting roles and some sparkling dialogue and you are well on your way to becoming a screenwriting contest winner.
