How the rest of the contest works
All One-Sheet submissions will be carefully read by our studio readers. From these submissions, 25 semi-finalists will be chosen, whose One-Sheets will then be judged by a Panel of Industry Execs, including:
Amasia Entertainment New Wave Entertainment Suntaur Entertainment Thunderbird Films Zohar Films
10 finalists will be chosen, and each will receive Final Draft 9 and enter into a 6-week Screenwriters University writing program, where they will develop their One-Sheets into screenplays. The course begins in January 2015.
The completed screenplays will receive ScriptXpert Extended Coverage/Development Notes, and finalists will have two weeks to make the suggested edits and complete the final draft of their scripts for judging.
Our team of Industry Insiders evaluates the completed screenplays and chooses a top three, all of whom will receive Screenwriters World 2015 Platinum Passes.
The Grand Prize Winner also meets by phone with an executive, who will provide feedback on the screenplay and career advice.
The Write Start Contest is open to all genres, and has a budget-friendly $20 submission fee. So what are you waiting for? Enter your One-Sheet today!
