What if I send my script and over 100 scripts have already been entered?
The final deadline is April 1. If one hundred scripts are submitted before that deadline, the contest will be closed to new entries. All fees for scripts sent after the competition has been closed will be refunded.
Do I have to customize the Cover Page of my entry?
Please submit your script with a standard cover page. After receiving your script Screenplay Festival will make a customized “blind” cover page for the judges. However, so that we can easily identify your script when we receive
it please submit your script with a standard cover page.
If I’m sending my script electronically, what should the file name be?
Sending your screenplay as an e-mail attachment is a great way for a writer to save money on postage. If you intend to send your script as an e-mail attachment, we recommend that you name your script’s computer file with your first initial, last name, and script title (shortened if necessary). For example, John Smith’s screenplay, “Great Script” written in Final Draft would be best sent with the file name, “jsmith_GreatScript.fdr”.
Who are the judges for 100 Screenplays?
This is the second most frequently asked question. The readers who will be judging the scripts for 100 Screenplays are all industry professionals from the festival’s sponsors. This includes literary agents, literary managers, and development executives from production companies. Additionally, one feature-film Music Supervisor is reading scripts for 100 Screenplays because she loves to read scripts and we know she has good taste.
Can I submit more than one screenplay?
Yes, you can. Each screenplay submitted must be accompanied by its own entry form and payment. For everyone’s convenience, multiple screenplays may be submitted in the same envelope or attached to the same email.
What are the Prizes?
The Grand Prize Winner will receive a $500.00 cash prize. Additionally, every Grand Prize Winner and every Honorable Mention will be announced and openly available to agents, producers, directors and investors. In all cases, the writer will be contacted either by 100 Screenplays or the inquiring party when interest is expressed in their material. Only Feature Length Screenplays are eligible for prizes. Short Length Screenplays are not eligible for prizes. There are additional prizes given to writers by our sponsors.
Can writers who live outside the USA enter Screenplay Festival?
Yes. If you live outside the USA, you are welcome to enter Screenplay Festival. All Entree Fees must be paid in United States Dollars.

If I am submitting for Script Coverage as well as the competition, do I send two scripts?
If you want written feedback on your script by submitting your script for Script Coverage and you want the script entered into the competition as well, you only need to send one copy of your script. The person who reads your script and provides the written feedback will be instructed to make certain that your script goes directly into the competition after they are done with it.
