    A good program

    I haven't entered the last few years - keep missing the deadline -- but I will enter this year for sure......

    And it's free! (I think)

            Re: Writing samples are required

            The announcement reads:
            No previous experience is necessary; however, writing samples are required.
            Well, duh! Will a screenplay suffice? (obviously they want more, but why is anyone's guess).

              re: deadline

              I haven't checked the website this year yet, but in previous years the registration period started at the beginning of June and ended just before the end of the month. I suspect it's still along those lines.

                Hey all ! I did check the website--

                Open dates are June 1st to July 16th... anything before or after those dates will not be accepted.

                A screenplay for a feature movie is requested as a writing sample... from what I understand the screenplay needs to be registered with WGA.

                Good luck all!

                  Red Tape!

                  Make sure you note the unusual load of stuff they want with your submission: notarized application, copy of your WGA registration, and a resume--not just a little bio, a resume!
