Screenwriting Competition with Feedback

Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) is now accepting entries for the 2016 Catalyst Screenplay Competition. SIFF has launched a feature-length screenplay competition (in association with SIFF's Catalyst program) to help support and discover emerging storytellers. Knowing the struggle that all unrepresented writers face to get their script read by someone in the industry, we've focused our prizes on helping make those connections in real, tangible ways. See Indiewire’s writeup of the announcement here: http://bit.ly/1RknI2M From now through January 16, 2016, SIFF is looking forward to receiving creative and original screenplay submissions. Each submitted screenplay will receive at least one page of written feedback from SIFF's team of trained screenplay readers. The top 10 scripts will be read (and further adjudicated) by a panel of film industry members and personally passed along (by SIFF Catalyst program manager Brad Wilke) to Catalyst alumni (producers, filmmakers, and actors), all of whom have screened feature films at SIFF in the past and who maintain an active and engaged role in the indie film community. Earlybird deadline is November 15, 2015 and Final Deadline is January 16, 2016. Submit your script through WithoutABox (http://bit.ly/1MPEBTV). More information is available at http://bit.ly/1UqqlWC.
