  • Best scriptwriting competition in the world?

    Hello!

    Whats the best script writing competition that everyone aspires to do well in, the one that is respected by all? I am having a trawl round the internet and these are some ones that took my fancy:

    Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting
    American Zoetrope Screenplay Contest
    Austin Film Festival Screenplay competition
    Final Draft Big Break International Screenwriting Contest

    I figure the Nicholl felloship in screenwriting is THE one?

    Ok sorry if this has been covered a million times,

    Thank you!

      I vote for trackingb. The odds of getting anything out of it are far greater than Nicholl, considering Nicholl's absurd amount of entries every year in comparison to trackingb's relatively low sum, and Nicholl's time-honored reluctance to give genre stories credit over boring, uncommercial drama.

        TrackingB seems to me imho a very bread and butter "lets get you going" kind of contest. Nicholls seems very reagal. If thats makes any sense. But I have only been researching them like for today. So who am I to have an opinion on such matters...but the Nicholl fellowship only accept straight up dramas?

          No, Nicholl accepts all comers.

            No. They just favor drama over genre 99% of the time.

              As you should already know, your statement is false.

              This is also false.

                I think I will apply to both, if I am ready.

                  Turner, Joseph. No middle initial.

                  I'm doing a survey. Do you believe the Condor is really an endangered species?

                      Hmmmm. Nicholl is the only one that would count on this list or any list for competitions.

                        What's Zoetrope doing in there?
                        It's the eye of the Tiger, it's the thrill of the fight

                          That Oscar race thing seems to get a fair amount of attention...

                              What about Sundance writer's lab. If I could win only one competition, that would be the one!
