The 5th Annual StoryPros Awards Screenplay Contest -- over $30,000 in CASH & PRIZES
Not only do the winners receive CASH & PRIZES from major sponsors, but also invaluable promotion of their screenplay to over 8,200 entertainment professionals. Most of our last winners had their screenplays requested by one or more major production companies and managers. The Grand Prize Winner and all five genre category First Place Winners will get a guaranteed read and consideration for representation and/or production by Elements Entertainment, The Radmin Company and Category 5 Entertainment! The Grand Prize winner will also get a guaranteed read and consideration for representation/production by Foremost Films!
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 butt? 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 of these categories as the best examples of these genres. And one screenplay will be chosen from all of the entries as the Grand Prize Winner. This gives you up to 16 chances to become a winner!
Our contests are recognized as among the finest contests going. Creative Screenwriting Magazine awarded our contest an "A" grade -- equal to Slamdance, Scriptapalooza, Warner Bros., Page Awards, and even their own contests!
You can also view our excellent user-submitted contest ratings at Moviebytes.com.
Here are just a few of the preferred companies that have asked to be notified about the winning scripts: Escape Artists/Steve Tisch Co., Laurence Mark Productions, Lancaster Gate Entertainment, The Radmin Co., Niad Management, Arpil Entertainment, Renee Missel Management, Emergence Entertainment, Creative Convergence, Exit 99 Pictures, Cypress Point Prods., and many more!
