THESE WINNING SCRIPTS WILL NOW BE SENT TO OUR JUDGES WHO WILL DETERMINE THE ORDER OF OUR WINNERS. THE ORDER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON 30TH NOV. More info on our winners will follow shortly.

Our team and industry readers have spent the last few months evaluating entries in every genre from writers across 20 countries. Below are our Winners, Semi-Finalists & Quarter-Finalists in our Feature, TV Pilot and Short categories. Congratulations to those who placed and a huge Thank You to everyone who entered. 2018 was a record breaking year in terms of the number of submissions and the overall quality of the work submitted. Please do not be too disheartened if you didn’t make it. There were many talented writers and strong stories that didn’t progress. We are sure that many of these projects will help the writer advance in their career. The key to screenwriting is perseverance, so don’t stop writing!

Do keep an eye on our website as we continue to add funding initiatives and industry contacts.
