WriteMovies Romance and Comedy Award 2024 – Now Open!
Audiences crave these genres for their escapist storylines and on-screen chemistry between the characters. They are often a great success both at the box office and on streaming at home, with romantic drama IT ENDS WITH US pulling in over $300 million whilst audiences and critics fell in love with Netflix’s HIT MAN.
A script in this genre needs a unique selling point that sets it apart and helps it avoid becoming too formulaic or predictable. Our Romance and Comedy Award 2024 is the opportunity to ensure your script stands out, with the winner receiving a year of script mentoring on top of guaranteed pitching – the same prizes as our overall 2024 Screenwriting Contest.
The opening of your script is crucial to stand out, so every entry receives feedback on those important first 10 pages, and then you can resubmit for FREE until the contest closes!
