The Launch
Imagine your feature being produced with a budget of around $1 million. It’s no pipe dream, it’s the uncommon prize on offer from this unique screenwriting competition.
There’s a slight catch, namely that you must be enrolled in a two-year, four-year, or graduate program to apply. But if that’s you then this is a contest not to be ignored for each entry receives one page of professional feedback as well as 70 percent off the annual subscription to Save the Cat 4.0 story structure software.
Out of the top eight screenplays, one Grand Prize winner is chosen and their film will enter pre-production shortly afterward. The top three finalists get an offer of representation and the top eight share in $100,000 grants to help them defer educational costs.
It’s worth going back to school!
DEADLINES: February to April
FEES: $20-$40
PRIZES: Getting your film made, educational grants, professional feedback, and writing software
