Screenplay Competition Submissions

SCREENPLAY COMPETITION SUBMISSIONS PROGRAM

Beginning in June 2016, the Film Department is offering any student who has completed a screenplay as part of Film-319 or a Senior Thesis the opportunity to participate in the Screenplay Competition Submissions Program. Students may submit only ONE time, after that, it will be up to the Film Department to see if we want to support any particular scripts for future submissions.

The Film Department has selected four screenplay competitions to choose from based on their deadlines and analysis reports.

Students may choose one competition out of the four listed below to submit to:

Academy Nicholl Fellowship      

Deadlines: March (early)/April (regular)/May (late)

Austin Film Festival Screenplay & Teleplay Competition
