12th Annual Monterey Screenplay Competition Opens for Entries
MONTEREY, CA – The Monterey County Film Commission and NESTech Management Group, Inc. announces the 12th Annual Monterey Screenplay Competition is open for entries from aspiring screenwriters.
Every year, the Monterey County Film Commission awards monetary prizes and promotional opportunities to the top screenwriters of feature-length screenplays. The film commission also gives an On-Location Award for the best screenplay with a Monterey County backdrop or written by a Monterey County resident.
"This is a golden opportunity for aspiring screenwriters to earn recognition for their hard work," said Wendy A. Goldman, co-chair of this year's competition. "We look forward to reading some really great screenplays this year." Ben Spencer is also a co-chair of the competition.
The awards include a $2,000 grand prize, a $1,000 runner-up prize, and a $1,000 On Location Award. All winning screenplays will also be considered for potential optioning by a Monterey County-based investor.
Entry fees are $40 for early entry screenplays postmarked by May 19, and $50 for entries postmarked between May 20 and the June 30 final deadline. Submissions must be completed feature-length scripts between 90 and 120 pages.
