WriteMovies Sci-fi and Fantasy Award 2024 – Now Open!
Whilst the sci-fi and fantasy genres can spawn a strong franchise, what draws an audience to them is the way they reflect reality. A compelling world with a relatable story is what has helped these genres conquer the cinematic landscape – from classic examples such as LORD OF THE RINGS to streaming juggernauts like STRANGER THINGS, to the more recent success of the DUNE franchise, audiences take notice of these stories.
Our Sci-fi and Fantasy Award 2024 is the opportunity for your script to reach that potential with the winner receiving the same prizes and advantages of the overall 2024 Screenwriting Contest!
When setting a story in a fantasy world, it’s important to establish the rules early on, so every entry receives feedback on the crucial first 10 pages, and then you can resubmit for FREE until the contest closes!
