The Northwest Screenplay Competition is accepting submissions for the 12th Annual Northwest Screenplay Competition (formerly called the Washington State Screenplay Competition). The Northwest Screenwriters Guild's focus is on providing support and insight to a dedicated group of screenwriters distant in geography from "Hollywood" but not in spirit or talent.
Submission Deadlines:
June 1 - Earlybird Deadline ($35)
June 27 - Regular Deadline ($40)
July 8 - Late Deadline ($50)
July 12 - Withoutabox Deadline ($50)
First and second round entries will be judged by trained and experienced readers who are screenwriters and producers dedicated to the craft. An added bonus this year is the separate SUNBREAK AWARD honoring writers who reside in Washington or Oregon.
The top three finalist scripts will be read by executives at established Hollywood production companies.
Other prizes include: Announcement as winner in Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, along with publicity releases to film industry and script-related publications; staged script reading with a cast of talented Seattle actors at the 12th annual Local Sightings Film Festival; one year membership to NWSG; one copy of the Final Draft; Michael Wiese Books Bundle; Yoneda Kathie Fong's "The Script Selling Game"; John Scott Lewinski's "Alone in A Room"; Save The Cat bundle; THE WEEKLY WORKBOOK: Twelve Weeks from Idea Through Rewrite by Pilar Alessandra.
Past finalists have been hired for writing assignments, secured representation, signed option agreements, and have had their work requested by film executives.
