Emerging Screenwriters Sci-Fi & Fantasy Screenplay Competition

Emerging Screenwriters Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Objective

Do you have a sci-fi or fantasy script that’s ready to break through?

The most powerful stories in these genres don’t just transport us to new worlds—they challenge how we see our own. Whether your work is rooted in epic imagination, grounded speculative fiction, or a bold blend of both, we want to read it.

Our Emerging Screenwriters Sci?Fi & Fantasy Competition is a celebration of both traditional narratives and boundary?pushing visions. We’re looking for scripts that spark wonder, expand perspectives, and connect with audiences hungry for originality. Winners will be shared with our mentors, partners, and industry connections for option or production consideration, and the Top 10 scripts will be considered for the ISA Development Slate, giving them a direct path toward representation and production.
