This prompt is seeking movies set in fresh, interesting lifestyles or subcultures with stories that organically incorporate or crescendo in a competition of some kind. We're looking for projects like 8 Mile, Blue Crush, Step Up, and Pitch Perfect.

I could try to pitch something about the tenure process, but it'd be career-ending for my day job   :-/

Thanks, Kham. I thought so, too, but not quite.

First, the contest isn't the "crescendo" of the story. In fact, I'm trying to find ways to shorten how much screen time is spent there.

Second, and far more important, it's not about an "interesting lifestyle or subculture" as defined by politically-correct Hollywood.

My wife and I did pitch Princess for the family-friendly-adventure one.

I agree, you're practically giving the script away for exposure. I would only ever pitch something to this thing if it was (a) collecting dust in a drawer or (b) had hooks for a sequel.

It took me a whole day to submit to this. One full day dedicated to submitting a screenplay. They don't ask a synopsis, instead, it's the theme and yadda yadda.

On the other hand, it was good exercise, so I enjoyed it.

Yes, trying to finish that application is a good exercise even if you have no intention of subjecting your script to Netflix's terms. Just block out your whole day to do it.

I have an idea that I'm in the middle of submitting. It just kinda came to me the other day so I figured "What the hell."

I do think that the questionnaire there is more for unfinished projects. So, submitting an idea is quite a good idea! Good luck)
