Submission deadline is April 30, 2002. Started in 1997, the Competition's goal is to showcase outstanding queer-themed screenplays and their writers to the entertainment industry. In the past four years, nearly 500 scripts have been submitted and read by panels of entertainment industry professionals. The submitted material must not have been purchased or optioned for purchase by any established production company, motion picture studio or film financing entity.
Individuals are eligible to enter regardless of sexual orientation.
Entry fees will not be returned under any circumstances. Checks returned by a financial institution will result in disqualification from the contest. Each applicant may enter only one screenplay each year. Screenplays entered in the contest in previous years may only be re-submitted once and they must have been revised since the previous entry. Screenplay finalists may not re-enter the same script but can enter new scripts.
