The primary purpose of the SimplyScripts Discussion Board is the discussion of unproduced screenplays. If you are a producer or director lookng for your next project, the works here are available for option, purchase or production only if you receive permission from the author.
NOTE: these screenplays are NOT in the public domain and MAY NOT be used or reproduced for any purpose (including eductional purposes) without the expressedwrittenpermission of the author.
As per Libby's comments, it's free to enter and they provide details of what they've done so far with the winning script from last year.
A potential opportunity that doesn't on the surface of it scream scam!
But... they've not filmed last years winner from what I can see, their website looks like it is trying to get people involved in voting (not necessarily a bad thing) and I can't see on what terms the winner (and apparently some runners up) are optioned/bought.

Looks like they finished last year's contest in September and signed the winner in November. So I wouldn't hold it against them that nothing's produced yet.
I couldn't find anything about terms either. The only mention I saw was in relation to the signing video they posted. They mention something about a wire transfer taking place before the signing. So, the implication is option/purchase. But, they don't outright state it. It's a big question that I would want answered before entering.
All that said...it looks like a cool process/contest.
