Hmm. Never entered a contest like this before. Probably just wasting my time, but I'll put something in. :)

Confessions of a cadaver

But this contest puts shorts and features together, so it feels harsh if a short wins out over a feature knowing the effort that goes into the latter

I'll be throwing a short at it again tho, now just to decide which one lol

I tossed a full length drama in. I'm at the point with this one, I don't care if they don't like it. Ha

Ah yes, that was a good script.

Maybe the one you got Writer's Choice for? Or did you sign away the rights to the filmmaker?

Also just bumping this again so writers can see it.

Might as well enter something, you have nothing to lose.

I sold the rights to that one so can't enter it - I might choose Dialled Up since it's the only short that I have had produced.

Best of luck in comp, Warren.

Last year I think they had 13k entries, so a lot of competition lol

I threw in a couple of pilots just for grins, but it's interesting that the winners only get the LOGLINES of their script sent around to industry professionals.  So your script might be badass enough to take third place, but if your logline is a  bit of a clunker, it may not mean much.

A couple? you should probably ask them to remove one of them...

"Limited to one submission per person. If you submit more than one submission, you will be disqualified from the competition."

The TSL free screenplay comp is back again this year.

The final deadline seems earlier than the previous years, Feb 28th.
