Good day to you all. Apart from being a screenwriter, competition reader/judge, and analyst. I also write articles for two international magazines... thought I'd share a link to one. I'll send more in time.  https://rstmp.org/screenwriting-competitions-the-gatekeepers/

"Screenwriting competition companies, through their advertising will boast about their JUDGES. All being either successfully produced screenwriters, agents, managers, producers, etc. Would it not be great to have your script read by these “Gods”! But, just as getting to the holy God, you first need to get through St. Peter, heavens gatekeeper. So too do screenwriting competitions have their gatekeepers… otherwise known as the first round readers. And they no St. Peter. They’d sooner send your script down to hell. So what does your script need to have… or not have, to get through the gatekeeper?"
