We’re excited to unveil the WriteMovies Spring 2025 Screenwriting Contest Quarter Finalists!
It’s been a pleasure to read through all your submissions and we want to thank everyone who has entered! Last week we announced the winner of our Script Pitch Contest and with the many submissions to our Main Contest, we’ve reviewed a wide variety of stories across many genres.
The quarter-finals are always an exciting stage of the competition, offering insight into emerging trends, what stories stand out and spotlighting the leading contenders to become prize winners!
For entrants, this is your opportunity to see how your work measures up against the competition and we hope our feedback helps every entrant progress from here! If you didn’t advance to this stage, treat it as a sign to continue to sharpen your craft. Focus on growth and come back even stronger next time.
And to those who secured a place in the quarter-finals, congratulations! Be sure to watch out for the upcoming announcement of the semi-finalists on June 24th.
We here at WriteMovies are excited to present: the WriteMovies Spring 2025 Screenwriting Contest Quarter Finalists!
