Writers On The Storm was founded with the goal of helping talented writers get their script in front of as many decision makers in the industry as possible. Over 120 top agents, managers and production companies will be reading the winning script and the loglines of the top ten finalists. (A complete list is available on the Writers On The Storm website.)
Each entrant will receive feedback on their script. We know what it's like to send out a script and not hear any response. The feedback will briefly explain why the script did or did not advance.
Writers on the Storm is also the only contest where you could get a second or even third chance. How? If you submit the script to www.coverageink.com during the contest period, you're automatically entered in the contest. If your script gets a "consider with reservations" or better (appx. top 10%), your script advances to the quarterfinals ("let it ride.") However, we also give you the option to polish your script and resubmit it before the contest end date (paying a $40 entry fee) theoretically bettering your odds. And you can do this as many times as you want during the contest's duration!
(Entry fee: $40, OR, submit your script to www.coverageink.com for any analysis from 4/21/08 through 7/11/08, and entry into Writers on the Storm is FREE. )

The NFO competition seeks to provide unsold writers an opportunity for recognition and networking with the Hollywood market, and to encourage the creation of scripts specific to Nevada. The small size of the competition improves a writer's chances of finishing well, and judges usually provide helpful notes and useful criticism. All genres are welcome except pornography which is excluded. Drama, comedy, sci fi, westerns, historical, fantasy, action, adventure, heists, road movies, thrillers, and more have all won and/or placed well over the years.
A "boutique" size contest with less than 200 entries qualifying annually, the competition requires that 75% of a script's locations be set in Nevada. (Entry fee: $15.00 per script for NEVADA residents; $30.00 per script for non-Nevada residents)
