Our contests are designed to show you exactly how well your script currently competes in the market, and a clear ladder to success.

Because we’re serious about selling our winners’ scripts, and we can prove we have the contacts and meetings to put them in front of decision makers at the heart of the international entertainment industry, our contests are designed to give all writers a clear sense of where their script currently stands in the market – and the clear answers you need about all that your project could achieve and how to fulfil it.

All script submissions receive a one-page summary of the strengths and weaknesses of your entry’s crucial first ten pages – and then you can resubmit your redraft for free to the same contest, up until the contest closes!

Get Studio Coverage to see exactly how an analyst would currently assess your script and pass on a summary and recommendations to studio executives. Discover what an industry professional would like of your work and what key elements you need to focus on in the future.

Get Development Notes to receive clear, constructive, studio-quality guidance on the current state of your script and what to do next for it to fulfil its potential. You'll get automatic entry to the contest and you can resubmit your new draft of the same script free of charge before the end of the contest once it's ready.
