Screenplay Contests & Script Writing Competitions - Film & Television

For your convenience please find below a number of Film Festival and Screenwriting Competitions for you to consider. HSX does not endorse any specific script writing competition or film festival and has listed them for information purposes only. Please do your research to determine which competition best suits your screenplay.

If you need to send multiple copies of your screenplay to the same destination (i.e. two copies for the contest judges to read) then you will recieve a 50% refund on the shipping costs of the additional scripts. All will be packaged together unless noted otherwise.

* Please note: Festival addresses and submission requirements frequently change so it is best to contact the Film Festival or Screenwriting Competition first to make sure they have not moved. Visit thier websites for the latest information or use the fantastic online submission service www.withoutabox.com
