As we approach the festive season, we’re thrilled to unveil a celebration of our own: it’s time to declare the Quarter-Finalists for the WriteMovies 2023 Writing Contest!
Quarter Finalists Announced!!
Reading through all your submissions has truly been a delight. With entries for our Horror Award, Romance and Comedy Award, and Sci-Fi and Fantasy Award also making their way into the Grand Prize contest, this competition stands out as one of our most diverse yet.
The quarter-finals mark an exhilarating stage where we begin to discern trends in scripts, and the frontrunners for the coveted top prize start to emerge!
For those who submitted, this is your opportunity to gauge how you stack up against the competition. If you didn’t make the cut, consider it a signal to keep refining your skills, identifying areas for improvement, and returning even stronger.
To those who secured a spot in the quarter-finals, congratulations! Keep an eye out for the upcoming semi-finals on December 15th.
