Screenwriting Championships 2008

THE SCREENWRITING CHAMPIONSHIPS is the newest competition from NYC Midnight to provide an educational, competitive and exciting challenge to writers around the world. Writers are challenged to create short screenplays 5 pages or less based on a genre, location and object assignment and accumulate points based on their placement in each round of the competition. Every writer that registers will compete in at least 2 challenges, and writers can compete in as many as 4 challenges based on their placement in each round. Judges feedback will be provided to the writers for every story submitted and a special peer review forum will be created where writers can comment on each other's stories.

HOW IT WORKS: For a detailed description of how the competition works, click here. This competition is a little more detailed than our previous competitions, so if you have any questions please ask away in our Q&A forum.

Registration is now closed. Good luck to the writers participating!
