TWO WINNERS WILL BE CHOSEN TO HAVE THEIR PILOT SCRIPTS PRODUCED, EACH WITH A BUDGET OF $5000. The writers will retain full rights over their story and have the final say on any potential deals which may arise. Plus, each winner will also receive $1000 Cash!

Writing a podcast script (or even adapting your existing script for a podcast) means fewer layers between your story and a potential audience of millions. Did you know that each week more Americans listen to Podcasts than have Netflix accounts! In 2021, 28% or 80 million Americans described themselves as weekly Podcast listeners. That is 10 million more weekly Podcast listeners than the 69 million Netflix account owners in the U.S.A.

Many writers, including our prestigious Judges, have forged writing careers for themselves through Podcasts and Hollywood is taking notice! A large number of podcasts have been adapted for television, including Homecoming, Dirty John, Limetown, Lore, and Blackout.

We have some of the most successful podcast creators onboard to judge our finalists and decide our winners, including:
Zack Akers – Limetown, 36 Questions
Lauren Shippen – Bridgewater, The Bright Sessions
Terry Miles - The Black Tapes, Tanis, Rabbits
Nick Van Der Kolk - Love and Radio
Jonathan Mitchell - The Truth

Shore Scripts will oversee the production of both episodes, making use of our industry connections to find you a talented cast and crew. We will look to attach a named actor to each episode to further help elevate the show and draw in an audience. Once both episodes are live, we will also help you speak with production companies in an attempt to green-light the season.

This is a great opportunity to have your work produced and your voice heard in this ever-growing industry.

It's a different Zack Akers... the one listed up there created the podcast Limetown and is a judge in this competition.

Maybe Zack should just go by one name like Sting, Madonna, Beyonce, Eminem...

Zack. Horror maestro.

Fiction Podcast Scriptwriting Contest | Final Deadline JAN 21st

In 2020, we launched our Fiction Podcast Contest and awarded two winning scripts $5,000 each to produce their pilot episodes.

Earlier this month, one of those pilots, FOOTLIGHTS: THE TRUE STORY OF OLIVIA MABEL, written by Ian McNeny and Martyn Eaden, wrapped their recording in Los Angeles. Footlights stars Ruby Modine (Happy Death Day, Shameless) and Jamie King (My Bloody Valentine, Sin City).

Just like last year, this year’s two winners will each receive $5,000 to produce their pilot episode, plus $1,000 Cash. Shore Scripts will help you find exceptional talent in terms of cast and crew. And when production is done, we'll be helping you pitch your pilot to podcast companies in an effort to get a full season greenlit.

All rights and IP remain with the writers and their teams.

We are proud to announce the WINNERS of our 2021-22 FICTION PODCAST CONTEST!

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES | Comedy | Lesley Hennen, Helene Griffin & Max Rasmussen

Each Winner will be awarded a grant of $5000 to produce their pilot episode whilst Shore Scripts will leverage our industry roster and external contacts to assemble an immensely talented cast and crew for each project.

Once the pilot is produced, we will seek to commission a full series for the winners by pitching the pilots to our connections in production companies and podcast platforms like Audible, Realm, Luminary, Spotify, and Wondery.

NOTE: The writers retain full IP over their work and will have the final say on the production process and whether to accept or reject any potential deal which may be offered.
