| | | Description: | Since 1998 - Scriptapalooza Screenplay Competition
From choosing our judges to creating opportunities, our top priority has always been the writer. We surround ourselves with reputable and successful companies, including the many producers, literary agents, and managers who read your scripts.
Our past winners have won Emmys, been signed by agents, managers, had their scripts optioned, and even made into movies.
But the most important prize of all is this: Scriptapalooza will promote, pitch, and push the Semifinalists and higher for a full year. No other competition in the world does that.
Over $50,000 in prizes awarded
