The Canadian Short Screenplay Competition (CSSC) is an annual writing contest, established in 2008, that seeks to celebrate excellence in short film screenwriting. In a digital age with waning attention spans, brevity truly is the soul of wit.
It is the belief of the CSSC that there are many festivals dedicated to short films: their viewing, reading and work-shopping. But there are very few, if any, competitions that celebrate and reward the writers of these marvelous works with a fully realized production using professional crews and talent.
CSSC does just that.
The competition will herald and reward the best and most successful writers of short film for the year (amongst all submissions received) with the ultimate prize: a professionally produced, live-action short film of the top first place (Grand Prize) award-winning scripted entry as determined by the industry judges. Runner-up prizes include cash, industry materials, software, and much more!
The CSSC is being administered and run by Year of the Skunk Productions. With a history of excellence, the competition's director is David Cormican (Director of Development with Year of the Skunk Productions).
CSSC is:
- the single-most competitive, prestigious, short screenplay festival in Canada
- a champion for screenwriters everywhere
- a launching pad for writers' professional careers through bold exposure, high-octane publicity and simply stunning production
