Objective
Sports stories inspire audiences with hope for success in a world full of endless challenges. As the world could always use more hope, the Sports Script Championship, presented by Houston International Sports Film Fest and Event Horizon Films, works to drive more attention to sports stories in Hollywood by recognizing the unsung writers of these inspiring scripts.
In true sports fashion, advancing scripts will go head to head in a tournament bracket until one writer is named champion. The earlier the submission, the higher the seed.
From sports bio-pics and sports family to sports comedy and sports drama, the Sports Script Championship is now accepting shorts, pilots and feature screenplays that involve any sports setting, athlete or competitive event. Show More

Silver: Hail Mary by Stan Williamson
