THE 2013 BLUECAT SCREENPLAY COMPETITION
IS
NOW ACCEPTING ENTRIES!
We are pleased to announce that the fifteenth annual BlueCat Screenplay Competition has begun!
Our annual search for the best screenplay in the world has a laundry list of distinguished alumni who have gone on to be represented by major agencies such as UTA, CAA, and WME, sold their work to Warner Bros., Paramount, and Universal, and won screenwriting awards as prestigious as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Nicholl Fellowship.
BlueCat stands apart from other screenwriting competitions because we offer more than simply prizes and recognition to a few lucky entrants: Everyone who enters the BlueCat Screenplay Competition receives two analyses of their screenplay, each written by one of our dedicated staff of experienced script readers. You may not walk away with some of our $20,000 in prizes, but you will walk away with unbiased, professional analysis of your writing - which, in the long run, is far more valuable.
All of us here at BlueCat - from our founder, Gordy Hoffman, to our tireless squad of readers - invite you to participate in our 2013 competition. As an incentive, we're offering a special, discounted entry rate of $55 to everyone who submits their screenplay by 12:00 PST tonight.
So please, send us your script. We can't wait to read what you've written.
