The Short Screenplay Challenge 2010 is an international screenwriting competition, now in it's 3rd year, that challenges participants to create original screenplays (5 pages max.) based on genre, location, and object assignments.  The competition was previously named the Screenwriting Championships in the 2008 and 2009 competitions. 

The event is organized by NYC Midnight Movie Making Madness, an organization that has been holding unique creative competitions since 2002 and is dedicated to discovering and promoting a new wave of talented storytellers.  NYC Midnight aims to provide the prizes and exposure necessary for writers to take their next big step towards writing professionally.
