Screenwriting : Contests by Ramon Olivo

Contests

Any advice of really good contests outside of the big ones?

Jody Ellis

Depends on what you're looking for. I always scout out the ones with free feedback, even if they don't offer any kind of cash prize. That being said, I also try to avoid the ones that don't give any more to winners than a mention on their website.

Nashville is a good smaller one. I also like all the Screencraft contests but they aren't so small anymore. And there are contests here through Happy Writers. If you look on filmfreeway there are tons of contests, big and small.

Ramon Olivo

I'll look into Nashville. Thanks!

Do the freebies: CBS, NBC, Disney, Warner. Gotta move to Los Angeles if you get accepted.

Ramon Olivo

Good idea. I'll look into those as well

Craig D Griffiths

I would do things that offer notes or judges feedback. At least you get something for the entry fee. Don't know enough to offer much more.

Bill Johnson

I suggest you try three contests, the largest, Nicholl, one of the screenwriting program contests, and a small local contest that has fewer than 100 entries.

Dan Guardino

I don't enter contests so I don't know which ones are good or bad, but I agree with Craig. If you get feedback at least you are getting something for your money.

Bill Costantini

Just a reminder....Nicholl deadline is May 1, and Page is May 17. Good luck, everybody!

Dan Guardino

Stanley. This is for discussing screenwriting so they don't want people advertising like this.

Lol $150mil production and you're here soliciting.

Beth Fox Heisinger

Hey Stanley, soliciting within forums and threads is not appreciated, and may be deleted. The Lounge craft and business forums are for topic discussion. Thanks.
