What are you doing over the holidays?
Will one of your New Year’s resolutions be “write a screenplay?”

This goal of this mini-contest is inspire you to get a jump
on that script idea you’ve been kicking around in your head.

Winners will be chosen at my discretion, based on
the appeal of the concept and professionalism of the writing.

    Q. Are Concept & story lines kept confidential when entering your contest? Shimya

  2. Ingrid Elkner says:

    What if it’s a 4-page short script? Still send the three pages and leave you wanting more?

  3. Eric says:

    Shimya: I will keep them secret…and safe. If you are a winner though, I may ask your permission to post them on my site. And if you’re worried about your idea, you should always register with the WGA. (But I also have posted about how worrying about your ideas is probably not necessary: Will Someone Steal My Movie Idea)

    Ingrid: Yep! 🙂
