This is pretty crazy and can really be any genre, even fantasy.
In my crazy world, science was discarded for magic. So, no physics, science, medicine etc. Magic is the root of existence.

If it were me, I would disqualify this right out of the shoot. The challenge is:
"...a particular event didn't happen."
So, what didn't happen here? Everything? Every scientific advance/invention was discarded for magic? Hardly an event. To me it's akin saying mine is based on if humans didn't need to sleep.
It does not be the challenge. I'd also DQ it for announcing my script ahead of the reads and reviews - but I'm a hard ass that way.
I had an idea for a comedy for this in which Hilary and Tenzing get to the summit of Everest and find some smartarse Aussies already up there cracking stubbies and cooking snags on a barbie lol.
But I’m going with a serious one which doesn’t involve magic or science...😎
Ummm yeah I was joking. Honestly, do you really think I'd admit what my concept is??
I mean, I've kept quiet the last few OWC so why would I revert back??
Also isn't one man's magic another's science??
Dustin, it disagree with you. If I had written a story then had people levitating or shooting out fire balls it could be magic or it could be a person who created a hoverboard from an unknown power source and a roman candle type device.
In comics, it's widely accepted that Dr. Doom's armor is both science and magic. A person from the stone ages would consider TV sorcery. However to say that TV couldn't exist in some other "magical way" is wrong.
I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good. I enjoy writing the same. Looking to team with anyone!
Science is science, it can never be magic. Somebody may believe it is magic but it is still just science. Magic is not real.

Levitation is by definition, magic. If you use anything to aid in the human floating then it would no longer be levitation.

In comics...
The magical stories in comics are not a part of our history. Superman doesn't actually exist, and nor has he ever.
There are some very specific historical events like the Roman Inquisition in 1615 and the Scopes Trial in 1925, but those are more teaching scientific theory vs. religious dogma than a competition between different ways of doing practical tasks.
I guess it would help ‘validate’ your script if the reader has a chance of working out what changed...
Anyhow, how long is the judging period on OWCs (or TWCs)? Longish I hope. I’m in it to read, but I’m away until end of first week of Feb. Don’t want to miss that bit entirely!
