Attention Screenwriters!
SCREENWRITING COMPETITION
(FREE ENTRY!)
Will Bigham & his Shamrock Motion Pictures, winner of "On the Lot" and $1 million Dreamworks picture deal, is holding a screenplay competition through Creative Screenwriting Magazine.
No fee to enter. "Must be a reader of Creative Screenwriting Mag." Submit a synopsis of 100 words or less by no later than Friday, Feb. 28 (AS SOON AS POSISBLE, DON'T WAIT)to
justin_sheehy@paramount.com?
First place: $5000 + one-year option for Shamrock Motion Pictures to develop
2 Runners Up: $500 each
Writers of the top 50 synopses that interest the company will be notified by email, and each will be asked to submit the complete screenplay by no
later than March 20. At that time, screenwriters will be asked to sign a waiver allowing the company to read and consider the material.
Winners will be announced by no later than May 1, according to producer Doug Draizin (Fools Rush In), who is working with Bigham to develop material for
production.
Per Draizin, the contest is seeking: family comedy, action comedy, romantic
comedy and thrillers, scripts with broad-based appeal from fresh and
original voices. Scripts outside those genres may be considered, according to Drazin; but smaller indie movies will have less of a
shot. The runner-up scripts might also be shopped around for possible production, he adds.
