Topic: Screenwriting contests -- AUGUST edition

Author: James Schannep Posted: 07/30/10 10:52 AM

Credit where credit is due, this is a spin-off of Irin's 2010 thread. I thought it would be a good idea to break it down by month so we can see what the upcoming deadlines are, discuss those contests, and decide what to enter. Additionally, we can anticipate results. This is proabably gonna start off rough, but here we go...

Here's what I've got so far:

CONTESTS:

August 1 -- Screenplay Festival ($40) [Also has a 10/1 deadline for $50]

August 2 -- American Zoetrope ($35) [Also has a 9/3 deadline for $50]

??? -- Atlanta Labs [Couldn't find any info, but the dates where around this time last year. Anybody got anything?]

RESULTS:

None on my list, but feel free to add.

This is cool. But I do get 15% of spin offs, sequels and merchandising. If I see any coffee mugs or action figures, you'll hear from my lawyer.

Yeah - what happened to Atlanta. I want to enter.

This thread is a great idea, James! I think I'm going to take a shot at these two contests this year, as well. What the heck, it's only $75, right?

Never heard of Atlanta, but hey, if Irin wants to enter, that's good enough for me. ;-) Let us know if you track 'em down.
