Hey Mark, any update on whether the trend has been bucked?

I haven't heard anything so far but I don't think they've announced anything yet. My entry has just scored an 11 on the Black List* so I expect it will win.


*this is not true.

Just been informed I haven't managed to qualify again, so I haven't managed to break the trend , I'm sorry to say.

The feature I entered qualified for Page, Austin , won Euroscript's 2021 screenplay competition and is in the top 7% of discoverable features on Coverfly, yet the score I received from Shore Scripts was quite low. I really don't know what I need to do to crack that particular nut, but I'll keep on trying!

Mark, deepest consolations.

For others seeking to know who did place do take a look at https://www.shorescripts.com/2021-screenplay-contest-results/ where you can view the full list of our Quarter-Finalists.

The caliber of entries continues to increase each year, and our Quarter-Finalists represent a total of 8% of our submissions that have progressed on to the next round.

We will be announcing our Semi-Finalists for both the Feature and TV Pilot Contests on Wednesday, November 10th.

Thank you for honoring us with your scripts and stories.

I can't believe it! Murderhorn made it to the finals! This bumped it up to the top 1% on Coverfly.

Thanks Shore Scripts!

Thanks :)

The difference between this script and my others, which haven't gone nearly as far, is simply the amount of feedback and revisions. (Including a lot of great feedback from members here.) In the future, I really need to focus putting everything I have into one script rather than my normal temptation of jumping right onto something new.

2021 Feature & TV Pilot Winners Announced!

There is no better way to end the year. It has been such an honor to immerse ourselves into these fantastic stories and proudly share them with our award-winning industry judges. And now the Judges have spoken!

We are thrilled to announce our FEATURE CONTEST GRAND PRIZE WINNER and 6 BEST GENRE CATEGORY WINNERS. And our 1-HOUR & ½-HOUR TV PILOT WINNERS and RUNNERS UP.

VIEW THE LIST! https://www.shorescripts.com/2021-screenplay-contest-results/

We are now in the process of seeking permission from our winners and other placed writers to share their scripts with our unique roster of Agents, Managers, Producers, Production Companies, and Directors.

When we hear back from someone on our roster who is interested in a certain script or writer, we will reach out to the writer.

If the writer would like to take up the opportunity to speak with said industry member, we will connect them both up via email to discuss the project.

The writer always retains full IP and ownership of their script.
