The Silver Screenwriting Competition is now closed
for submissions in 2009.

Quarterfinalists will be notified on or before August 15th, 2009.

Winners announced September 15th, 2009.

In our neverending quest to make you a better writer, The Script Department created a screenwriting competition like no other. Even with over $10,000 in prizes, we reward our entrants with something even more precious than silver or gold — a chance to kick-start a career.

The Grand Prize winner will fly to Los Angeles, stay at a four star hotel on the Sunset Strip, dine with A-list writer Josh Zetumer, who is currently adapting the Sci-Fi classic DUNE for director Peter Berg; have a day of three meetings with three managers; enjoy cocktails with The Script Department at the Chateau Marmont and have the experience of a lifetime.

And all that’s on top of winning a MacBook Air, an iPhone and tons of other great prizes. Meeting a deadline, receiving validation, making valuable connections AND winning some great stuff – it doesn’t get better than that. CLICK HERE to watch a video of last year's winner, Hilary Graham.
