Rules
FESTIVAL OVERVIEW- Each screenplay you enter will be read and critiqued by three other writers.
- By submitting your script, you agree to review and provide thoughtful, constructive feedback on three other writers' scripts.
- Each participant will complete a feedback form for scripts that are assigned to them. This will ensure the review is constructive and helpful. Contestants will give (and receive) specific feedback on things like Title, Plot, Character Arcs, Story Structure, Dialogue, Uniqueness, Formatting and more!
- After the final entry deadline, scripts will be distributed for review. Participants must read and review, using the feedback form, three assigned scripts within a three-week period - demonstrating that the scripts were thoroughly read and thoughtfully critiqued.
- After the review period is complete, you will receive the feedback / report cards for your script(s). You will only receive your report cards if you have completed your three assigned reviews.
- During the Family Friendly Screenwriting Bootcamp, all participants will have access to three live-online screenwriting workshops on targeted elements of screenwriting. Learn actionable techniques that you can immediately apply to your scripts.
- Peer Favorite winners will be announced and awards distributed.
- FFPRSF will maintain communication, providing updates and guidance throughout the process.
- Participants can submit more than one screenplay (up to a maximum of two), but each must be submitted separately with their applicable fee. The participant agrees to review 3 other scripts PER ENTRY (that means 6 script reviews for two entries).
- Previously submitted scripts may be resubmitted (with submission fee) to subsequent seasons. Award winning scripts may also be resubmitted, but are not eligible to win the same award.
- Participants understand that they will only receive feedback on their work IF they submit their assigned script reviews, according to the Report Card guidelines, within the review period. Should a participant fail to complete their assigned script reviews, they will forfeit receipt of the script reviews for their own submission(s) and they will receive no refund or compensation. FFPRSF reserves the right to disqualify future submissions from such a participant. If you want to RECEIVE quality, constructive feedback on your work, you must be willing to commit the necessary time to GIVE quality, constructive feedback.
- The Family Friendly Screenwriters' Bootcamp is available to all entrants. The Festival is not responsible if a participant cannot, or chooses not to, attend any or all of the Screenwriting classes, and no portion of your entry fee will be refunded. FFPRSF will make videos available of all sessions.
- All entrants must be 18 years of age or older.
- Entrants may reside anywhere in the world, however:
- ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST COMMUNICATE IN FLUENT ENGLISH in order to benefit from this program, and for other participants to benefit from your input.
- Persons associated with FFPRSF - including directors, employees, family members, sponsors and others, may participate in the peer review process, but are NOT eligible for any contest elements, laurels or prizes.
- All scripts must be "Family Friendly". For us, this does not necessarily mean it is written for all ages, or of interest to the whole family. It basically means there is nothing that you wouldn't want your child (or your mother) to see or hear if they were to walk into the room during your movie. A story can have real life "grit" and still be presented tastefully. Scripts with profanity, crude or vulgar language, nudity and sexual content WILL BE DISQUALIFIED at the festival’s sole discretion, and no refunds will be issued.
- All submissions must be in English (The script may contain minimal dialogue in other languages, but must have the English translation written in the script).
- Scripts must be within the following guidelines for length: Shorts: up to 45 pages; TV Pilots: up to 70 pages; Features: up to 125 pages.
- Submissions that exceed these guidelines will be disqualified, and no refunds will be issued.
- Scripts submitted to other festivals or contests are eligible.
- Previously submitted scripts may be resubmitted (with submission fee) to subsequent seasons. Award winning scripts may also be resubmitted, but are not eligible to win the same award.
- Participants may submit more than one screenplay (up to a maximum of two), but each must be submitted separately with their applicable fee. The participant agrees to review 3 other scripts PER ENTRY (that means 6 script reviews for two entries).
