You guys spoke and we listened – and as a result, we’re keeping the Fall 2019 Screenwriting Contest open for an extra week, giving you until October 20th to submit your scripts to the competition!
We know that you guys have written a lot of great scripts, and one of the best things we get to do here at WriteMovies is read them! But when a deadline is coming up and you’ve got some last minute changes to make, it can be easy to overrun and miss your chance.
Well, we don’t want you to miss out – and we don’t want to miss out either! We always have a blast with the judging process for our contests, and we’re looking to get the best scripts we possibly can.
That’s why we’ve decided to extend the contest by a week. We’re here to champion great stories and great writers, and this extra week means more time for us to find them!
So make sure you use it wisely. Get your script to its maximum potential and then submit by the end of Sunday October 20th to get it into our hands – and hopefully, into the top three!
And don’t forget that, as ever, by buying a script report from us you can get free entry to the contest – as well as invaluable feedback from an industry professional!
The Fall 2019 Screenwriting Contest is nearly at an end – but it’s not over just yet. Click here to visit the main contest page and enter your script!

We’re nearing the end of another contest! Partnered with our first ever Horror Award – the winner of which is announced on Halloween – the end of the WriteMovies Fall 2019 Screenwriting Contest is fast approaching, with submissions closing on October 13th!
Whatever genre your screenplay belongs to, we want to see it. WriteMovies has been helping writers to succeed for twenty years now, and we want to keep that going! We’re always on the look out for great scripts and fresh new voices that deserve to be heard.
That’s part of the reason why we offer our top three scripts a year of free script development followed by pitching to industry. We want to make sure that your work reaches its full potential – and that once it has, it gets the best possible chance of getting into production. A screenplay should be turned into a film – not left to linger on the page!
Don’t forget the Grand Prize for this contest either. The winner walks away with $2000… not to mention bragging rights!
So make sure you don’t miss your chance. If you’ve got a script you want us to champion, enter the WriteMovies Fall 2019 Screenwriting Contest before October 13th to grab our attention. We believe that great writing deserves to be recognized!
You can also get free entry to this contest when you buy a script report from us. Get professional feedback on your script drawn from industry-standard templates, starting with Judging Feedback from $89 up to our more comprehensive Development Notes at $149.
With just one week to go, move fast if you want to enter the Fall 2019 Screenwriting Contest. Click here to submit today!

From our highly competitive Spring 2019 Screenwriting Contest, one script rose to the top of pile to win our Grand Prize: CARAVAGGIO!
Based on the tempestuous life of the Italian painter, this television pilot caught our attention with its strong concept, engaging main character, and commercial potential. Congratulations to its writer, Alasdair McMullan, for winning the competition!

Another deadline approaches! There are only a couple more days left to enter the WriteMovies Fall 2019 Screenwriting Contest and Horror Award 2019 at our cheaper Early Bird rate… Make sure you don’t forget to enter by this Sunday, August 25th!
Just last week, we were excited to announce the winners of our Spring Contest – but the wheels never stop turning here at WriteMovies. Our next two competitions are well underway, with fantastic prizes and opportunities to be won for screenwriters!
Not only is there the chance to win the $2000 Grand Prize of our Fall 2019 Screenwriting Contest, but we’re also celebrating great writing in our 20th Anniversary year with our second genre prize: the WriteMovies Horror Award 2019!
Submissions to the Horror Award receive free entry to the Fall Contest, with additional prizes on offer too: two sets of Development Notes, further advice on fine-tuning the winning script, and guaranteed pitching to industry.
And more than that, it’s the opportunity to be the first ever winner of this Award, joining Mark Flood who earlier this year became the winner of our inaugural Sci-Fi and Fantasy Award with his script THE TIME-TRAP!
If you need a bit longer, don’t worry. The final deadline for the Horror Award is September 29th and for the Fall Screenwriting Contest, you’ve got until October 13th. But if your script is ready, make sure you submit before the Early Bird Entry ends on Sunday!
