Out of the finalist screenplays will be selected a 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, and honorable mentions. As much as we would like to do it, there just isn't time or staff enough to provide a complete written critique of each script. But it's hoped that this score summary information will give writers a general idea of their screenwriting strengths , and point out areas in need of improvement, as adjudged by a group of highly knowledgeable film professionals. Third annual contest early deadline is April 15, 2001. Stories can be set anywhere in this world, or beyond it.
Documentaries are ineligible.
It is strongly suggested that writers submit their screenplays well before the deadline. The earlier your script arrives, the more time judges have to assess it. Finalists will be announced the middle of August, 2001. Winners will be announced on or about the beginning of October, 2001.
