Once your script has been submitted, it will be logged on our system and made available to the Reader Team. You will receive your short feedback on the announcement date. Feedback is collated and discussed internally as we decide which scripts will progress to the next round.

All applicants will be informed via email regarding placings, at each stage of the contest. These results will also be on our website.

You will receive an email from our contest submission platform. Once Script to Screen has closed, we will email everyone who has entered with all the announcement dates. We will keep you informed throughout the year. It’s also worth signing up for our Mailing List.

If you have added coverage to your submission, it will be returned to you prior to the first placement announcement date of the specific contest. However, coverage reports are typically returned much sooner, depending on how busy we are and depending on when the script was submitted (i.e. there is typically a heavy influx of submissions on/around deadline dates).

If you would prefer to receive your coverage report within our typical 3-5 day turnaround, we recommend submitting your script for our coverage services separately from any contest submission.

We are looking for stories that move us. Your script can be about any subject in any genre. It’s all about the quality of the writing and whether the writer has a distinct voice.

Script to Screen is all about identifying unique talent that will be right for this initiative, which is why we wanted to open it up to short and feature length screenwriters. As we all know, the first act is crucial in setting the scene, characters, world, and grabbing the attention of the reader and hopefully down the line, the audience. Our readers will be able to ascertain a writers talents, and whether they should progress to the next stage, from these pages. 

Writers who are shortlisted as Quarter-Finalists will then be able to upload full length scripts and/or addtional material that will be reviewed (at no extra cost).
