Objective

The Contest Of Contest Winners joined the 2016 Sunscreen Film Festival (Florida/Los Angeles) to bring increased visibility and networking opportunities to winners! And this year 2017 the festivals and the contest will be putting writers with filmmakers in new ways!!

There are hundreds of screenwriting competitions, but which screenplay from among the winners of all of these quality competitions is the best of the best?

The Contest of Contest Winners (CCW) answers that question and shines the spotlight on many accomplished, award-winning screenplays in what amounts to a definitive last review of the elite.

The CCW Winner and Finalists will be presented at the Sunscreen Film Festival in Los Angeles and will meet with attending literary agents, producers and filmmakers including 30-minute Skype sessions with producing and management pros later. Show More

Contest of Contest Announces ... Contest Winnner

Beyond the Horizon by George Ferris has been named the winner of the Contest of Contest Winners.

Winner

Beyond The Horizon
George Ferris
In the 1920's, taken in by his childless uncle and aunt in rural Pennsylvania, a 15-year-old orphan finds his passion for airplanes fueled by a maverick pilot at a nearby airfield, who's secretly giving him flying lessons. The airfield closes, the pilot takes off to compete in a highly publicized trans-Pacific air race ... and the boy makes a life-changing decision to follow, only to discover the pilot has been hiding dark secrets about his past.

Finalists
(In Alphabetical Order)

Anatomy of a Town
Patricia Fox
The discovery of a dead woman in the wintry small town of Chippewa Heights sets the Chief of Police on a murder investigation made more complicated by his recent short-lived affair with the victim. Uncovering a host of suspects, he discovers a long-hidden secret explaining the killing and a web of deceit stretching back decades. DreamWorld
Brent Hartinger
Plagued by nightmares, 13 year-old Julie wakes one night to find herself in Slumberia, a strange world where screenwriters and movie crews create and film the very dreams that terrify her. Collecting a motley group of unlikely friends, Julie must figure out a way to escape Slumberia or face being trapped in those nightmares forever.

Esperancia
John Edward Flynt
Wealthy African-American shipping magnate Marten LeBron enjoys a quiet semi-retirement in Mississippi until a terminally ill friend insists he keep his promise to track a long-missing daughter. Traveling incognito to Miami, Marten encounters casual racism, danger and even his estranged brother, while uncovering the plight of refugees -- past and present - caught in the lucrative world of human trafficking.

Of Kings And Concubines
Ronald L. Ecker
A king falls in love with a peasant girl, and it almost brings down the kingdom. But not just any king in this farcical version of King David and the woman he thinks is Bathsheba.

The Patriot Act
Steven C. Oppenheimer
A Secret Service agent, on trial for assassinating the President, realizes on the witness stand that before answering to the jury he must first answer to himself: Was firing the fatal bullet a crime or an act of conscience?

Reasonably Crazy
Christopher Willis
Growing up in group homes taught Dana-Sue to trust no one. Now a receptionist in a University Psych Clinic, she's drawn to the most brilliant grad student, 10 years her senior, who is tormented by vivid flashbacks of combat in Iraq. Whip-smart with amazing intuition about patients, she looks like a biker chick but he looks like trouble -- neither will ever be the same.

Say Goodbye To Boris
Tom Ziegler & Tony Ziegler
Stanley Mulcahy is bored, too bored to even wonder why. Could be his mind-numbing grocery business, his shallow wife, his life sentence in a dull Chicago suburb. Then a letter arrives that jolts him awake and as he relives a night two decades ago with the mysterious woman who called him, "Boris," he resolves to answer the impossible question: "Is it too late to go back and start again?"

There Is a Season
Stuart Creque
When a suicide bomber detonates his bomb on a Jerusalem street it sets two very different families, one Israeli, one Palestinian, on a collision course of unimaginable tragedy. Then a long-lasting snowstorm blankets the region with a sense of peace, and unexpectedly, there may be reason to hope.

Uncle Hoppy and The Pecos Kid
Clinton Braly
Prickly, estranged half-brothers Carson and Thane haven't spoken in 50 years when an accident to a grandchild forces them together to deal with the boy's recovery. Complicating matters is The Pecos Kid--an inept but eager Guardian Angel - who shows up to help them become a family again.
