Rules

IndieBoom Screenplay Competition Rules:

  2. Screenplays submitted must be the property of the writer.
  3. All deadlines are at 11:59pm PST on the date listed. Any deadline alteration or promotion of any kind does not make any entry valid of a refund of any kind.
  4. There are no refunds for any submitted screenplay. Coupons may not be applied to previously submitted scripts.
  5. There is no limit on the number of scripts a writer or writing team may submit.
  6. Prizes are awarded per script and teams of writers are expected to divide prizes on their own accord.
  7. The decision of the judges will be final and cannot be contested in any manner. There is no score on a scorecard that guarantees advancement to the next level as advancement will be based on all score in the competition.
  8. The contest reserves the right to delay announcements for any reason. Delay may last up to but never more than 90 days. While we never anticipate any delays, such delays will not alter the standing of any screenplay entry and will qualify no script for a refund under any circumstance.
  9. By submitting to the contest you are releasing your script to the film festival and its partners, and holding harmless the festival or any affiliates from any claims, expenses, and liabilities, including but not limited to invasion of privacy, defamation, copyright, libel, trademark infringement, slander, personal property infringement, etc. ** Detailed feedback is available for an additional fee **
