Scriptapalooza was founded in 1998 with the goal of helping as many writers as possible through the competition. We have over 90 production companies, agents and managers reading all the entered scripts. (A complete list of participants is on Scriptapalooza's website.)
We actively push the Semifinalists, Finalists, Runners-Up and Winners for a full year with the intention of creating opportunities for the writers. We are a hands on competition because we feel it is important to continue supporting the top scripts beyond the cash and prizes. No other competition in the world does that.
We are proud to present the competition with Write Brothers, a company that not only provides the necessary tools for writing but is an advocate and true supporter of emerging writers. Show More

An interview with screenwriter Heather Regnier regarding the Scriptapalooza Writing Competition.
Q: What's the title of the script you entered in this contest, and what's it about?A: The script is called SOBER LIVING, and it's about a woman in her late twenties who is reunited with her estranged family when she is forced to go to treatment at her parents sober living facility. There's also a lot of sex and drugs and well, all of the fun parts of hedonism in excess.
Q: What made you enter this particular contest? Have you entered any other contests with this script? If so, how did you do?A: I wanted to enter Scriptapalooza because it's one of the best and most reputable competitions; and I've applied to several others as well. I've won one other competition, and placed highly in several others.
Q: Were you satisfied with the adminstration of the contest? Did they meet their deadlines? Did you receive all the awards that were promised?A: Yes, I did. Scriptapalooza was great in all regards. Promises were fulfilled, deadlines were met, dreams came true. A+ rating, all around.
Q: Were you given any feedback on your script? If so, did you find the feedback helpful?A: I was not given any feedback on my script, but I didn't ask for any; (though I suspect if I had, it would've been kickass.)
Q: Has your success in this contest helped you market your script? Were you contacted by any agents, managers or producers?A: I was contacted by a couple of managers and producers. None of them ended in marriage, but I'm not in a frantic rush to find representation if it doesn't fit. I look forward to the day when I meet an agent/producer that I click with.
Q: What's your background? Have you written any other screenplays or television scripts?A: I went to USC Screenwriting school, where I wrote a truckload of scripts, pilots and specs. It was awesomeness. My background is awesomeness.
Q: Do you live in Los Angeles? If not, do you have any plans to move there?A: I was born and raised in LA, so one day I would love to move out actually; but that plan requires a yacht and a crew which makes me mimosa's all day; so until that days comes, I'm here to stay.
Q: What's next? Are you working on a new script?A: I am working on a couple of feature scripts; one for my manager and one for me! One's a comedy and the other is more of a dramedy, and I'm having a blast with both. I'm also rewriting a drama feature , a comedy feature, and a drama pilot; projects which have also been lots of fun for me.
