In the Nick of Time for Aspiring Screenwriters
Are you a screenwriter looking for a challenge
and exposure? All aspiring—and competitive—screenwriters worldwide are
invited to participate in the 2005 Screenwriter’s Challenge. Writers compete
to see who can produce the best short screenplay on an assigned genre and
subject in as little as 24 hours. The winning writers will receive over
$7,000 in prizes along with valuable exposure, and of course, bragging
rights.
Organized by NYC Midnight Movie Making Madness (NYC MMM) and sponsored by
Writers Boot Camp, the 2005 Screenwriter’s Challenge consists of two rounds.
In the preliminary round writers have one week, beginning July 22nd, 2005,
to produce a short screenplay (20 pages max.) on a given genre—and at this
moment, secret—subject. Those who advance to the second round to compete
for the top prizes must write an original short screenplay in just 24 hours,
from midnight to midnight, on September 2nd and 3rd, 2005.
Anyone may compete in the 2005 Screenwriter’s Challenge from anywhere in the
world. The entry fee is $35US before July 7th, 2005 and goes up to $45US
until the final entry deadline of July 21st, 2005. Space in the competition
is limited and will be granted on a first come, first serve basis. To
