Hey I thought I should mention this now before the deadline and believe me the deadline is near. One in particular is for the television screenwriting competition Scriptapalooza Television. I find I normally make announcements for competitions that are geared toward the big screen or documentaries, but I rarely talk about television. In lieu of my desire to learn more about writing for cable television and the Internet, I thought it would be appropriate to remind others about this competition. The deadline is April 30th, so you need to get it in right away. I’ll be sure to give plenty of heads up for this one when next year’s announcement are made. Unfortunately I learned of this contest just recently.
Now for this next one you can relax a bit. It’s the 5th Annual American Zoetrope Screenplay Contest and I have not read who is judging but last year the judge was Gus Van Sant (admittedly one of my favorite directors). This I’m giving early because the heading for last years competition is still the headline on the website. But when you read further down the page you’ll see the announcement for this years deadlines. The contest opens June 1, 2007 and the early deadline is August 1, 2007.
To give you a little history about the contest, it part of the website started by Frances Ford Coppola to invite writers to submit their short stories to his online magazine Zoetrope: All-Story. Many of the writers quickly formed around the website and it’s quick popularity prompt Coppola to create sites for novellas and screenplays. You can read more about it here, American Zoetrope Films.
