Most contests favor dramatic, serious, or off-the-wall scripts as contest winners...
but what about the comedy, western, fantasy, or horror screenplay that just plain kicks ass?
How do you compare a comedy to a space opera?
Or a heart-warming family film to a slam-bang actioner?
The StoryPros Awards Screenplay Contest gives your genre script a fighting chance!
Scripts face off against each other in five categories:
Action/Adventure/Thriller, Comedy, Drama, Family/Teen/Animation and Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror
Cash and/or Prizes will be awarded to the First through Third Place Winners in
each category.
And one screenplay will be chosen from all of the entries as the Grand Prize Winner.
That means you have 16 chances to become a winner!
The Grand Prize Winner and all five First Place Winners get
guaranteed reads from The Radmin Company and Category 5 Entertainment.
The Grand Prize winner also gets a guaranteed read from Foremost Films.
