Another round of judging is down, and we’re getting closer and closer to deciding our winners – it’s time to announce the Winter 2021 Screenwriting Contest Semi-Finalists!
Whether your script made it through to this round or not, there’s plenty to be learned here. By seeing how far your script progresses in our contests, you can also see how you compare to the rest of the competition.
So if you didn’t make it this time, that’s a clear message that there’s work still to be done! Don’t just give up – go back to your script, reassess, and figure out what needs improving.
As ever, don’t forget that WriteMovies is here to help with our mentoring and script report services, which can give you expert feedback and advice you need. We also have two new contests open: the Spring 2021 Screenwriting Contest and the Sci-Fi and Fantasy Award.
And to all our Winter 2021 Semi-Finalists – congratulations! You’re on the right track. Now it’s time to keep an eye out for our announcement of Winners and Honorable Mentions on March 26th to see how you really stack up.
We’re looking forward to welcoming a new group of winners to our slate, so we can work with them on their scripts and start pitching them to industry!
Well done once again to everyone who made it – here are the Winter 2021 Screenwriting Contest Semi-Finalists!
