Austin Film Festival Screenplay & Teleplay Competition

From the good folks at the Austin Film Festival:

Austin Film Festival Screenplay & Teleplay Competition

Final Deadline: May 20

All submissions must be received or postmarked by 11:59PM PST on Wednesday, May 20

AFF’s Screenplay & Teleplay Competition is one of the most respected writing contests in the country with a rich history of championing and supporting writers. For the first time ever, AFF will provide Reader Comments to ALL entrants in the Screenplay & Teleplay Competition for FREE! In addition, all entrants receive registration discounts, with even bigger discounts when you place in the competition. Unlike other screenplay competitions, your experience with AFF doesn’t end after making the first cut. Second Rounders (the esteemed top 10–12% in each category), Semifinalists, and Finalists attend special panels, programmed specifically for them and not open to regular badge holders. This year, AFF has an exciting line-up of sponsored award judges including AMC for the One-Hour Pilot category, the Writer’s Guild of America East who will provide three established WGAE screenwriters to judge the Final Round of the Drama category, Enderby Entertainment who will be looking for scripts with an original concept and distinctive voice that can be produced under $5 million, and Frank Darabont’s Darkwoods Productions who will be reviewing this year’s top Sci-Fi scripts. May 20 is the Late (and Final) Deadline for screenplay submissions so enter yours before it really is too late!

Now accepting short and digital series scripts!

I only promote two screenwriting competitions: The Nicholl and the AFF, both well-established and well-respected in the industry.
