where do you submit loglines or short screenplays to be reviewed?

Screenplays can be submitted using the Submit Your Script link.  

Log lines can be submitted to My Work in Progress

What is the use of a logline?  Is this what you put in your query letter to agents, or at the head of your script synopsis?  What is it's proper place?

Thanks.  

it is basically a short tag line to describe your script ie the best summary of your script in a sentence.

Right, I know what a logline is . . . I want to know what its use is.  Why does it exist?  Why is it considered a necessary thing?

Without a logline people are going blind into your script, I know as a reader of screenplays need something that says the basics of what the story is about or I'll just skip it and go onto one that took the time to tell me

You don't have to have one but it would only be your fault when nobody reads it, other than that it doesn't have a use that I know of

Thanks.  
So, where do I put the logline?  Does it go in the query letter, or at the head of a one-page synopsis?
Do screenplays typically get submitted with a cover letter synopsis?

Sorry to bombard you all with questions that may seem obvious.  I'm new to screenwriting (but have lots of experience with other types of writing).

I'm not really in a know of sending screenplays anywhere, you have to actually get past the obsticle of finding an audience first. If you get your script made into a film good for you but really if it is one of those straight to video things than you didn't really accomplish much.

Loglines are like the commercial advertisement, they sell the script to the reader. but that's not hat it sounds like you want to do, you want to sell it to a company, that's very different I'd think

I plan to send my screenplay to contests, fellowships, agents, and studios -- whatever will get me some recognition.    I can't count on selling my first screenplay or two, but I think I can grab reader attention.  Hopefully those readers will work for agencies or production companies.

What about this web site? I believe those same people visit here, I mean people get offers from there scripts posted on this web site. It costs money to get all these people and agents to even touch your work unless they are really looking

You have to be one hell of a talent like Vic or even Balt to get them to turn your way

I haven't done my research yet, so please excuse my question if the answer is easily found . . . but is it possible to simultaneously submit my screenplay to agencies, contests, and online sites such as this one?  Or does that violate first rights and permissions?

In the book industry, you can't post your manuscript online without giving up your first publication rights.  If you post your unpublished novel online, no publisher (except for a vanity press) will touch it.

I don't believe that aplies here, people sell there stuff off of this site and than get Don to take it down so that it cannot be viewed anymore. I'm guessing that means people will touch screenplays from on the internet

I don't know much about submitting to agencies but I don't see any problems simultaneously submitting stuff, it gets there attention

I think if you can point an agency to somewhere like this and say 'look, my script had x amount of views..' then that can't hurt either!
