The 2009 Movie Script Short Contest

The deadline is approaching for The 2009 Movie Script Short Contest.  Never heard of it, well neither had I.  But this is a great contest for new screenwriters, who don't yet have feature scripts, to get their writing noticed.  The 1st place winner of the 2009 Movie Script Short Contest will have their winning short script produced. 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners of the short contest will also receive screenwriting books and awards.

The judges of  the Movie Script Short Contest are all professionals in the film and television industry and together with the producer partners are always on the hunt for the best new material in a variety of genres.  Cash prizes are: 1st $1,000 - 2nd $500 - 3rd $250.  The contest is open to scripts of 5 to 30 pages in length.

The Movie Script Contest is open to anyone. Submitted scripts must be original works, owned entirely by the entrant(s) and cannot currently be under option, sold or produced.
