Rules

Basic guidelines:

• Contact information (name, email address, etc.) preferred, but not required, on the cover page.
• PDF preferred, but will accept Final Draft, Celtx, and other file formats.

• No limit on the number of entries. Each entry is a separate fee.
• Simultaneous submissions are of course allowed (i.e. you can enter other screenwriting contests with the same script).
• Previous Script Pipeline competition entrants welcome to enter again and are guaranteed fresh reads from a new judge. Former finalists are not allowed to enter the same script again.
• All rights to the material remain with the entrant, whether they place as a finalist or not. It is, however, recommended you copyright your material.
• Open to writers worldwide.

• The script entered must not have been produced in its full form (shorts based on the script are fine).
• Must be at least eighteen (18) years of age at time of entry.
• You have not sold or optioned any film screenplay to any entity or individual greater than $25,000.
